On Saturday, we had over 100 visitors to our Meeting House for our building’s Sesquicentennial Celebration. The event included special history presentations, demonstrations of pieces from our collection, an exhibit on the history of the Big Run Primitive Baptist Church (now the Meeting House), a guided Big Run Cemetery tour, and of course refreshments. Thanks to everyone who volunteered or stopped by!
(If you weren’t able to attend the event, some of the special presentations will be posted to our YouTube channel later this week. Stay tuned!)
