A few weeks ago, the staff and student interns from Special Collections, Musselman Library, Gettysburg College visited Renfrew’s Executive Director and Gettysburg College alumna Ashley Sonntag for a special field trip! During their visit, they experienced an in-depth guided tour followed by a behind-the-scenes viewing of our archives, collection, and newly unveiled America250 Exhibit. We love having the opportunity to exchange ideas with other institutions, rising professionals, and our peers… not to mention being able to share this special place while we do!

A look back to the end of June during Renfrew’s Civil War Living History Weekend! Many thanks to our participants who volunteered their time to host free presentations, demonstrations, and interactive activities for the Waynesboro community! We saw countless visitors who asked fantastic questions, practiced drill with the military, and toured the museum house to learn a little more about this piece of our local history. This annual event will return next year with some new surprises!
