On Thursday evening, November 14 at 6:30pm at AWTHS, Cary Wogoman will do a virtual tour of Arcanum. Two popular AWTHS events have been the walking tours of downtown Arcanum and also the south end of Arcanum or early Industrial section. Cary will show photos and tell interesting stories of highlighted businesses, people and locations in these two sections of town.
Our annual Christmas Bazaar will be held again on Friday evening, November 29 from 5:30-8pm and Saturday, November 30 from 9am-4pm. Great Christmas items, bake shoppe, drawing, and free section will be offered for nice bargain shopping while supporting your local historical society. The bazaar will also feature an “antique” section featuring some old books and school annuals. On Saturday, kids can shop for their families with free gift wrapping in the Santa’s Gift Shoppe.
A nice Christmas gift for a train hobbyist or history lover would be Todd Clemmons book, “The Rails & Tales of the Dayton Union: The Early Years”. Purchase your copy before they are gone for $20 at AWTHS during Open Hours which are November 2 and December 7 from 9am-noon at 123 West George Street.
