Candlelight Open House

Come volunteer at the Westmoreland Historical Society and Historic Hanna’s Town!

We will be having our first volunteer meeting of the year on Wednesday, February 22nd and also on Saturday, February 25th. We will be having two meetings to accommodate everyone’s busy schedules. If you can’t make it Wednesday, come Saturday! Both meetings will begin at 1:00 p.m. in our Education Center.

Volunteers can work with the public by greeting visitors, leading programs and tours, and helping at the gift shop, or can assist behind-the-scenes shelving books in the library, setting up for events, or caring for our gardens. Volunteer hours are flexible and customizable. There are many ways to get involved and help us preserve and share local history. 

This is a general meeting for returning and new volunteers to introduce themselves and to plan and discuss the upcoming season at Historic Hanna’s Town, with the intent of setting up later volunteer trainings and orientations for those interested in guided tours, school tours, etc. This will be a point of discussion at this volunteer meeting, and those interested in volunteering with the shop, library, or other opportunities can also call to set up private training. 

Volunteering is a great opportunity to share your skills with others – and learn new ones, too. We are open to volunteers of all backgrounds, including but not limited to high school and college students, homeschool students, retirees, teachers, and history enthusiasts.

Did you know that Westmoreland County was founded on February 26, 1773? 

Join us for a night of trivia in celebration of Westmoreland County’s 250th anniversary this year! Trivia questions will focus on the county’s history since its very beginnings to today, so come on out and put your local history knowledge to the test!

Trivia is on Friday, February 24th from 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. Signups start at 6:15 p.m. Yinzer Valley Farms has a full bar menu available and even brew their own hard cider. Please call Yinzer Valley Farms for reservations of 6 or more people at 878-295-2507.

This event will be hosted by Ace Trivia inside the Cider House Tap Room at Yinzer Valley Farms in Mount Pleasant.
