Do you have a fascinating collection, a historic artifact from the area, or even an item you can’t quite identify? Our Show and Tell Program is the perfect opportunity for you!
Join us for an enjoyable evening where everyone is encouraged to showcase and share stories about their cherished items. Whether it’s postcards, tools, vintage clothing, old photographs, memorabilia, or anything else you think others might find intriguing—or even something so unusual it could stump the audience—you’re welcome to bring it along.
Your items don’t need to have a direct connection to the Stewartstown area, though local ties would certainly add an extra layer of interest!
A free-will offering will be taken to support the Historical Society.
For more information, contact Genie Lytle at 717-318-7756, Todd Eyster at 717-993-3027, or the Historical Society at 717-993-5003 or our website (stewhist.org).
