Sat, July 31st
12 noon to 5 pm

     Listen to first hand accounts of the dangers and rewards for those desperately seeking freedom. Who were the upstanding local citizens who broke the law to help them? You may recognize some of the names!


     Old Mill Village Museum, in the scenic Endless Mountains of Pennsylvania, was founded over 40 years ago to preserve the area's rich heritage. It has become a center of education and history, showcasing the crafts and artifacts of the late 18th through the early 20th centuries.
     Established on donated land, buildings of historic and local interest have been moved onto the land, and others have been built to display these treasures of the past. During the Spring, Summer and Autumn seasons, the Village presents special events that bring different aspects of our history and heritage alive.
     All this is made possible by the efforts of the Associate Members of Old Mill Village, a local non-profit organization of dedicated volunteers who give of their time and talents to make Old Mill Village a living, working museum, "Where Antiquity Lives".
