"Have a Seat"
The latest Hummelstown Area Historical Society Show is entitled “HAVE A SEAT.“
The Show is staged at the History House at 32 West Main Street, Hummelstown and is open during the Office’s normal business hours on Mondays from 11:ooam to 4:00pm and Wednesdays from
3:00pm to 7:00pm. There is no charge for admission.
Chairs for adults and children of all shapes, sizes, and ages are displayed. Each chair is identified by how it would have been used, rather than by its style or history.
For the Show, Barb Miller shared a foldable chair used by a student at the Stoverdale Schoolhouse, Jean Seibert lent a child’s parlor chair with horse hair upholstery once owned by Kathryn Engle. Another chair is from the Karmany Furniture Store; a second one from its successor, Bowser’s Furniture Store. Additional chairs are from the Society’s Collection in the Parish House Museum as well as other private collections.
Plan to visit the Show which features nostalgic moments of Hummelstown’s past, and Have a Seat!
Please call the Office at 717-566-6314 for more details.
