County history takes spotlight on 2nd annual History Day
Ten attractions featuring different chapters of the history of the county were on display Saturday, May 13, during the second annual Butler County History Day.
The Butler County Historical Society’s Little Red Schoolhouse, the Maridon Museum, Washington’s Trail 1753 at Senator Walter Lowrie House, the Mars Area History and Landmark Society, Evans City Historical Society, Historic Harmony’s Zeigler Log Cabin, Historic Harmony’s visitor’s cabin, Zelienople Historical Society’s Buhl House and Passavant House and seven vehicles built in the county were on display.
The daylong event was sponsored by the Butler County Tourism & Convention Bureau, which gave visitors an opportunity to win gifts and a gift certificate by picking up “passports” at any of the attractions and getting them stamped at three of them.
