Wayne Bicentennial Calendar Available at N-AHS

The Newark-Arcadia Historical Society will be selling, as a fundraiser, the Wayne County 2022 – 2023 Bicentennial Calendar. We will not be doing our traditional Newark calendar until next year.

The calendars are packed with photos and local Wayne County history for each of the days in the two-year calendar. Newark is represented in both photos and historical information.

 

The calendars are available at the Newark-Arcadia Museum (open Saturdays, 1-3 p.m., all year). 

Special arrangements can be made by calling the Museum at 315-331-6409.  You can also conveniently and securely order online.
