Who remembers the Sears Christmas Catalog? This limited edition bound copy, printed in 1982 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Sears Christmas Catalog, once belonged to Julius Rosenwald II. It came to OYRHS through a donation of items from his personal library. There are 13 shopping days left until Christmas. Are you ready?

So glad to have been part of the Eastern Montgomery Chamber of Commerce Young Professionals event this evening! #emccc

We have a great selection of local history titles by local authors to consider for your gift giving needs this holiday season. Check out the publications page of the website for additional titles and order forms, or stop by the Society during open hours. #museumsunday #musuemstoresunday (Yes. Apparently it is now a thing.)

Join us along with the Pennypack Ecological Restoration Trust next Saturday, December 1st for the annual program observing the anniversary of the Bryn Athyn Train wreck, which occurred on December 5, 1921. Tour begins at 1:30pm at the Visitors Center. Please contact the Pennypack Trust at 215-657-0830 to register. Society and Trust members are FREE, all others are $5. @pennypacktrust

Snow Day! ☃️

Thank you to Mike Szilagyi, author of “Images of Rail: Montgomery County Trolleys” for sharing with the local history of the trolley lines and photographs from his recent book this evening.
