The
EBHPS opened its doors to the public on Sunday, June 4, 2017. All five
of the buildings owned or leased by the Society were staffed by members
for two hours in the afternoon. Swigart’s Mill, the Church Schoolhouse,
the Fire House, the Log House and Red Men’s Hall attracted a number of
visitors who were eager to look inside these Society buildings and learn
of their history and place in the community. |
