Mercer County Historical Society

          
       

You are invited to the dedication of the marker commemorating the location of the "Old Town Spring" at the corner of North Walker and Honaker Ave. at 11:00 AM on March 17 (see the enclosed brochure). After the dedication, we will be going back to MCHS "History House" for light refreshments. If you haven't seen what we have been doing, this is a great opportunity to view the updates at the History House, especially the new  research library.

April 1st, 2010Time Capsule deadline

          
        
The Shrewsbury/Solesbury Foundation is creating a time capsule to be opened in 25 years on 
April 1, 2035. The capsule will be stored at the History House in our new library. Members of the 
Historical Society are encouraged to put a message in the capsule. Enclosed in the newsletter is a form 
to complete and return to MCHS, if you want to participate in the Solesbury/Shrewsbury Monument Time 
Capsule.  You may submit a letter, photograph or small artifact. This would be great for your family to 
view at the opening in 25 years.

Cemetery Project

          
        If you know where any cemeteries are in Mercer County, no matter what size, please let Dreama Reed know. Dreama is chairman of the cemetery project. There are over 500 cemetery locations in Mercer County. The Historical Society will be publishing these lists, along with directions and pictures. She also needs help going to enumerate them. She could also use donations for gas and printing costs. Dreama's number is 304-384-9484.
