With Rural Heritage Day over and the fair around the corner, summer is winding down fast. Things at the Baldwin-Reynolds House are anything but quiet this time of year. There are plenty of ways to see or get involved at the museum in the upcoming weeks, as well as throughout the fall.

Although Rural Heritage Day is over, there are still summer exhibits throughout the museum. Quilts and coverlets are prominently displayed in several rooms as well as exhibits on the Crawford County Fair and the once famous Shadeland Stock Farm near Springboro, PA. Throughout the latter half of the 1800s, the Powell Brothers raised Clydesdales of which were sold worldwide. Photos, advertising, and the Powell’s traveling trunk are just of a few of the artifacts you can still see in this exhibit.

Oil is still on the brain at The Baldwin-Reynolds House Museum as well and next on the list of demonstrations is being presented by none other than your friendly neighborhood museum curator! Keep an eye out in next week’s article for a more complete description.

The museum and the historical society will, as always, have displays at the Crawford County Fair in just another week or two. Be sure to stop in the Grange Building to see the museum’s display and the building next door to see historical society displays, books for sale, and much more!

In addition to several more programs on oil, we will have the George Delemater carriage as a float in the Oil 150 Parade! We are still looking for someone who has horses that is willing to pull our carriage through Titusville, but are looking to put it on a float if necessary.

Much more is planned as we enter fall. Be sure to keep reading for art shows, Haloween Tours, and much more! See you at the museum!

Hi Everyone!

This space will serve as a way for the museum to post up to date or last minute changes to events and programs, share what is new and exciting at the house, and better serve our patrons by getting YOUR feedback on things happening at the museum and what you would like to see in the future at the Baldwin-Reynolds House!

I highly encourage everyone to give feedback on what and how we are doing in order to help us better serve the needs of our patrons and the community. Besides leaving feedback here, you can call the museum from Wednesday through Sunday at (814)-333-9882, email us at museum@baldwinreynolds.org, or visit us at our page on Facebook! We are trying hard to keep everyone informed in what is happening at the museum.
