There, you are guaranteed to learn something new each time you visit, and the gift shop/bookstore is extraordinary. Making possible, on Jun 26, the first-ever screening of the acclaimed documentary, "A History of the Underground Railroad and Abolitionists in South Central Pennsylvania" at the Eichelberger Performing Arts Center, the Society is a presenting sponsor of the upcoming Heart of HanoverLand Festival of that weekend. From its famous Christmas tree exhibits and tours of the mansion to summer lawn concerts, from Civil War soldier encampments on grounds of the Neas House to its most excellent Martin-Leese Lecture series and so much more, you can explore roots while finding fellowship and friendships with the Hanover Area Historical Society. Making history and community since 1965, the Society is keen on matching you with volunteer opportunities.
