The 2022 Arthur St. Clair Historic Preservation Award will be presented at the 22nd annual Arthur St. Clair Historic Preservation Awards Dinner on Wednesday, October 19, at Rizzo’s Banquet Hall in Crabtree.

The St. Clair Award is presented to those individuals, organizations, businesses or educational institutions that have made a significant and sustainable contribution to the preservation of our historic places, documents, records or stories, and by doing so, are keeping alive Westmoreland County’s rich history and heritage for future generations.

The award is named in honor of Arthur St. Clair, an important figure in the founding of Westmoreland County.  When the cause of the American Revolution beckoned, Arthur St. Clair answered that call and rose to the rank of Major General in the Continental Army.  After the war he served as the president of Congress under the Articles of Confederation and as the first governor of the Northwest Territory.

Have fun with fears and folklore of the 18th century! This special tour of Historic Hanna’s Town looks at the Scots-Irish origins of Halloween and what frightened people in the 18th century.

Learn about superstitions of Westmoreland County’s Scots-Irish settlers regarding the Celtic new year, Samhain, or Hallowe’en. Many of these backcountry residents were rooted in the “old ways,” where folklore, magic, and the belief in witchcraft were embedded in their culture. This is not a ghost tour, but in the flickering candlelight, we may see shadows of things that once were, and hear echoes from the past.

Tours begin at 6:00, 6:30, and 7:00 p.m. on Friday, October 28 and Saturday, October 29.

PROGRAM REGISTRATION: Space is limited and advanced registration required. Please call 724-836-1800 x210 to register. $10 for Westmoreland Historical Society members, $12 for nonmembers.

More details forthcoming!
