What words do you associate with the coronavirus pandemic? Social distancing? Isolation? Loneliness? Stagnation? How about . . . adaptation? Productivity? Creativity? Expansion?

These two sets of words are not mutually exclusive--the lockdown was a time of tremendous growth at the Lebanon Township Museum! From the construction of the Carriage Shed Museum Annex (adding 400 square feet of exhibit space) to the creation of interpretative signage and interactive exhibits, to the discovery of little-known local history and the acquisition of artifacts, a revitalized museum awaits the public.

At home, too, folks found themselves with abundant newfound time to fill. Many took this as an opportunity to get back to abandoned artistic projects while others explored brand-new creative pursuits or figured out how to adapt their old passions.

The Lebanon Township Museum’s new exhibit, Pandemic Art & Artifact, centers around a post-pandemic renaissance. Visitors are invited to remember those we’ve lost with our Yellow Heart Memorial and celebrate our collective creativity and perseverance. Exhibit runs from July through September 2021.
