New and Interesting in December

 

Online Shop  A new feature at the Society is the secure online purchasing of museum products.  While in the Shop, you can just add the item to the cart, or you can click on the picture to see more information.  With the Christmas season arriving, it’s a convenient way to order and receive that unique gift for someone special.  Items available include the Bicentennial Calendar, various books by local authors and even membership renewal. 

Of special note is Doug Sloane’s book of photography by Verona Marble.  We are not selling a museum calendar this year, so those of you who love images of Newark’s history are sure to love this book     

Books by local authors Jim Bush and Sharon SanAngelo  are now available.  We will be continually adding new items, so stop back often. 

When you order online, you can save the shipping costs by checking the “local pickup” option on the cart page.  The museum is open 1 to 3 on Saturdays and pickup is also available most mornings.  Just call (315) 331-6409.  

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.
