(PAOLI) - The Orange County Historical Society will be hosting a “Holiday Open House” at the Museum, located in the NW corner of the Paoli Square set for this coming Sunday, November 18th from 1 to 3 p.m.
The event is being held in conjunction with the annual Paoli Merchants Christmas Open House being held that same day. The updated exhibit areas will all be open that afternoon to visitors.
There will be no admission charged; however, donations will be accepted to go towards continual renovation efforts at the museum.
The group will also have its "Holiday Market" set up that day in the downstairs "Family Room" with gift giving ideas for the history buff on your Christmas list this year.
OCHS President Robert Henderson said, "We would like to extend a special invitation to everyone to stop in and visit us during the Open House event and view the updates that have been made at the Museum this past year." This will be the last time the Museum will be open for the 2018 season outside of appointment for individuals and/or small groups.
A new temporary exhibit has been prepared upstairs spotlighting Orange County's links to World War 1, which has generated considerable interest in recent weeks.
As a "Fun-Raiser" the group has once again produced a commemorative Christmas Ornament this holiday season celebrating the historic Thomas Elwood Lindley House in Paoli.
The ornaments are now available for purchase for $12 each while supplies last. Only a limited number will be produced and they expected to sell out. The collectibles can be purchased at Roslyn's Corner Gifts and will also be available from the Museum Gift Shop on November 18th.
