out that old box of photos and memorabilia, finding information online, and making a game plan to share it all. We hope this will be the first of a series of programs for those interested in the fascinating investigation into our roots. A great multi-generational activity!

April 14th – Show and Tell

Do you have an interesting piece of family history? A great story to tell? A house with an interesting history? A good ghost story?

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 for a couple of hours on Sunday afternoon. 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.

We’d love to hear your stories and will tell some of ours and share some of the fascinating resources we’ve collected at the Historical Society.

Sunday, April 14, 2024 at the Schoolhouse, 2:00 PM.  If you are attending with an item please call (215) 297-5091 or email (info@soleburyhistory.org) us so we can coordinate schedule of presenters.
