WELCOME
The Kutztown Area Historical Society is a group of members and volunteers who are dedicated to preserving the artifacts and cultural history of Kutztown. We are grouped into several committees, each lead by a board member, and each focusing on a different aspect of the preservation. Through the generous donations of numerous individuals and business over the years, we have been able to create a museum to showcase some of the artifacts of our past. In addition to tours of the building, we also offer educational and entertaining events throughout the year for visitors to learn more about the area and the Society. We invite you to explore our site to reveal all that we offer and read about the many benefits to a lifetime Historical Society membership.
Vergess Net - The Society's Bicentennial Commemorative Book
|
The Kutztown Area Historical Society is publishing Vergess Net, which is a book about Kutztown's Bicentennial celebration. The book was released at the Society's Holiday Festival on Saturday, November 11, 2017.
Vergess Net features almost 500 pictures of all of the Bicentennial activities. It's the perfect gift for your favorite Kutztownian. The book is only $50 with all proceeds going to the Historical Society. Since only 750 copies have been printed, demand will most likely overwhelm supply. There are a very few copies still available at any KAHS event, Mr. Food (342 W. Main St.) and Firefly Bookstore. (271 W. Main St.) They're only $50, so hurry to get your copy! |
