Home School Days and Children’s Christmas Tours at Old Economy Village

We will be offering two Home School Days this fall on October 11 and October 16 from 1:30 p.m. until 3:30 p.m.

This event will allow home school families to explore the Village at a special educational rate of $5 per child and per parent or guardian. Students will get a chance to visit the buildings, try some hands-on activities, see demonstrations and learn about life in the 1830s. You must register for one of these dates by October 9.

In December, we will be offering two Christmastime for Children Tours on December 13 and December 18 at 1:00 p.m. for Home School families. This tour is designed for young children from pre-school to the third grade. The cost will be $5 per person.
This is an hour and a half program. For the first hour students (parents come along and watch) will get a tour of the Village where they will make an ornament to take home and participate in other activities. The final half hour of the program is a party with grumpy, old Belsnickel. He will be checking his book to see which children are naughty or nice. You must register for these events by Friday, December 6.

To register for these events, please contact David Miller, our Museum Educator, at davmiller@pa.gov or call 724-266-4500 ext.110.

Location: Heinz History Center

The VBC is sponsoring an evening at the Heinz History Center featuring Vietnam veteran and best-selling author Tim O’Brien, known best for his seminal work, “The Things They Carried.” O’Brien will speak about his own service and how he translates stories of combat from experience to the written word. Following the program, O’Brien will sign copies of his books, including “The Things They Carried.” Tickets $20 for general admission and $10 for veterans, active duty service members, students, and History Center members (ID required at check-in to receive the discounted rate). Tickets to pre-program reception also available. More info and tickets at History Center website: heinzhistorycenter.org/events/evening-with-tim-obrien

The mission of the Veterans Breakfast Club is to create communities of listening around veterans and their stories to ensure that this living history will never be forgotten. We believe that through our work, people will be educated, healed, and inspired.

Typically the breakfasts cost $12, but you can come for free if you’re not having breakfast. Everyone is invited-yes, non-veterans too. We should all be hearing theses stories.

Here are a couple of events coming up in our area.
