SUMMARY:Sturgeon House-keeping Day
DESCRIPTION:VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY \nWe are in need of some especially careful volunteers to assist in a thorough interior cleaning of our Historic Sturgeon House. Part of our mission is its care and upkeep. The Historic Sturgeon House was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.  It is a wonderful example of the “saltbox” style and is indicative of homes built in the early 19th Century.  We would like to make it presentable for our 2026 guests.  Please consider donating some time and elbow grease. All cleaning supplies will be provided\, along with refreshments and fun.  \n\n

SUMMARY:Cemetery Tour to Vietnam Veteran's Gravesites
DESCRIPTION:Last year the historical society tried something new… a tour in the lovely Fairview Cemetery to gravesites of 12 World War I veterans.  The outdoor event was free of Covid fears and this year we are trying it again.  This year we will visit 10 or 12 gravesites of Vietnam veterans in June.   \nThe date is yet to be set\, but Sundays appear to be the best day to tour and around 2 p.m. is a good time to start.  We will be walking\, so wear comfortable shoes.   \nThis program will be free\, but registration will be required.  Call the Sturgeon House\, 814-474-5855 to register.  Watch this space for more information. \nNote:  The date listed above is not Sunday\, nor is it the date of the tour.  That is to be scheduled.
