Open House Grand Re-Opening
On September 26th, from 1:00-4:00 PM, we have our Open House Grand Re-Opening. This will feature new exhibits, kid activities, an authors tent, increased audio visual, a tour of the herb garden by the Old York Road Garden Club, a relocated dollhouse for better viewing, a new/old historic desk display, newly uncovered historic artwork, a new local history gallery, and slightly less creepy mannequins.
Note that masks are required at this event.
