PictureCLICK ON SANTA TO ACCESS THE MHS NEWSLETTER!
Santa at the Schoolhouse December 6th-12:00-3:00
Thanks to member Ralph Buglass for keeping his eye open for our Report Card readers. He received the November digital newsletter from the Medford Historical Society in New Jersey and suggested that it is certainly worth sharing for its great ideas.  We concur.

CSAA member, Pat Alvino, is not only a Trustee and Director of Cross Keys Schoolhouse programs, but a recent recipient of our CSAA Service Award for her many years of dedicated work on behalf of their schoolhouse museum. She continues her work with other MHS activities and this holiday season at Cross Keys promises to be a good one.

Just reading Medford's newsletter is inspiring to see a thriving membership actively engaged in all things historical...and fun! MHS President Bill Pflug's Page  highlights the Apple Festival, Country Day, Quilt Show and Flea Market, wine tasting, blacksmithing, new Civil War and WWI exhibits, sprucing up the buildings, planning for our nation's Semiquincentennial, the Charlie Zahm Holiday Concert at the Quaker Meeting House, opening the Haines-Tomlinson House as a shuttle stop for the Dickens Festival...and drumroll....Santa at the Schoolhouse! Check out the flyer: apple cider, 19th century decorations on the tree, and a visit with Old St Nick! Free admission.

If you're looking to improve your group's communication and participation you'll certainly find inspiration and some great ideas from the Medford Historical Society!

    The story of what went on inside that eminently successful country school is an important part of Americana. It should be preserved along with a few remaining buildings wherein the great cultural pageant took place."
