What an incredible turnout for the opening of our new exhibition! More than 150 people came out to support the Monroe County Historical Society and celebrate our rich local history.

Thank you to everyone who joined us this weekend and to all of our dedicated volunteers—we truly couldn’t do this work without you.

A special shout‑out to the Mercer Pipes and Drums for bringing such energy and joy to the day. They were a fantastic addition and helped make the celebration unforgettable.

Weaving Workshop 

What a wonderful Saturday at our Weaving Workshop!

Thank you to all the amazing ladies who joined us — your creativity, laughter, and willingness to try something new made the afternoon truly special. Seeing everyone dive into the process and leave with a handmade project was such a joy.

We’re grateful for your support of the Monroe County Historical Society and hope to see you at future programs.
