Special events such as our Christmas open house, downtown tours and special programs are times when we invite the public to share in our love of Punxsutawney history. Watch for these events and take part by attending or volunteering to help with the work of planning them.

Our gift shop is a favorite stopping place for out-of-town visitors. We have many interesting items of local interest there. The shop is staffed by volunteers and is open during the regular hours each week as well as other special times during the year.

We offer a discovery series for children which focus on a historical eras or topics. We are in the second year of a four-year program. "From the Woodlands" highlighed the early peoples who once lived in our region. "Settling In" will explore our early settler period. We will go on to study our "Boomtown" era and our "Armed Forces and Public Services" history. Bring your children in or come yourself to help with the logistics of crafts, snacks or transportation. A partial schedule is shown on our PROGRAMS and PROJECTS page.
