The Bradford County Historical Society invites its members to an Exhibit Opening & Reception to officially begin the 2011 season.
This event will be held Sunday, May 22, 2011, 2-4 p.m., at the Bradford County Historical Society. The event will begin in the Great Room at 2 p.m. with an introduction of this year’s new exhibits followed by a tour of the new exhibits by Matthew Carl, BCHS Manager and Curator.
The featured exhibit for 2011 is entitled, “Our Boys in Blue: Bradford County in the Civil War.” Approximately 150 Civil War related items have been pulled from storage for this exhibit in remembrance of the 150th anniversary of the beginning of the Civil War. In addition, a total of nine other permanent or rotating exhibits have been substantially or completely changed throughout the museum. As a result, the Bradford County Historical Society is offering more new and updated exhibits this year than it has in several years.
An invitation to this event is a benefit of your membership in the Bradford County Historical Society. Free refreshments will be served during the event. Don’t miss out on the new exhibits at BCHS!
Also, don’t forget that our Friday Night at the Museum programming season begins this Friday, May 20, at 6 p.m. Visit our website at www.bradfordhistory.com for more information on our 2011 programming schedule. Don’t forget to register for this Friday’s program on the history of the 141st Regiment in the Civil War by Kurt Lafy. Civil War re-enactors in full uniform will also be present. Free refreshments. No cost to attend.
See you at these events!
