A dedicated group of volunteers quickly decide to have a Christmas Open House event at the Armstrong County Historical and Genealogical Society Museum in Kittanning, Pennsylvania. Technically, the museum is housed in an1842 building known as the McCain House. Members of the 62nd Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, 5th Corps Living Historian group along with some other volunteers did a great job with the planning and setting up for the event. (I am a proud honorary member of this group of Civil War historians.)
I, also, was present to take photos and spend time in the Native American Room which I am curator. I had hoped to spend more time mingling around the premises and taking additional photos, but I had many interested individuals wishing to discus and ask questions about the events involving the Lenni-Lenape Indians of Kittanning past. Believe me I enjoyed our discussions.
Many of the women-folk, including my wife, baked some cookies for the event. various drinks were available, as well. Local florists helped to make the museum festive. A Christmas tree was donated.
Below are additional photos from the Christmas event.
