Jun 9th – Show and Tell at the Schoolhouse

Do you have an interesting piece of family history? A great story to tell? A house with an interesting history? A good ghost story? Or are you just interested in stories about Solebury and Bucks County? This is your opportunity to get together with others in the community who are intrigued by history, particularly the history of our area.

Come join us in the old schoolhouse at N. Sugan Rd and Old York Rd on Sunday afternoon, June 9th from 2 to 4. We’ll be bringing together people from the area who are intrigued by history to share and learn from each other. Bring your item, book, map, deed, or whatever helps tell the story. Feel free to share your thoughts — or, just sit around and listen.

Attendance is free for STHS members, $10 for non-members. So, for all you non-members out there, joining is a great way to save money 😉
