What do Barbados, a dead fox, salt water, angry hunters, wax, tradition and subterranean furry creatures have in common?   Our free presentation on Wednesday, July 8th at 7pm will answer this riddle by exploring one of the best examples of the genius of the American Common Law system---the work of the Pennsylvania courts in developing new law to accommodate the birth of the oil industry.   The discussion will focus primarily on four of the earliest oil cases to challenge Pennsylvania courts and will explore the jurisprudential impact those cases have had upon American law.

Hello All,

 

The Baldwin-Reynolds House has been restoring, redecorating, weeding, planting, eventing, etc. all summer and want you to get a first hand look at our progress. Attached are several photographs of recent events and work at the museum. We are always looking for new volunteers both inside and outside the house. Contact us and you could appear in these photos as well!

Hi Everyone!

 

The Baldwin-Reynolds House Museum has a Blog!!!! 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.

 

I'll try to make this first post as brief as possible, but there are a few new events to list in our Oil Heritage Series (free programs on the history of oil in Crawford and Venango County) as well as a concert and a few other things. You can find those below:

 

July 4th- CLOSED

July 8th- Oil Series: Early Court Cases with Russ Schetroma

July 15- FREE Concert on the Lawn- Concert Band of Northwest Pennsylvania

July 22- Oil Series: Rags to Riches to Rags: Charles Culver with Bob Ilisevich

 

Check back soon for more updates and pictures of what's happening at the Baldwin-Reynolds House!
