Strawberry Social – June 22nd at Noon

This year the Newark-Arcadia Historical Society celebrates its 29th year of hosting our Strawberry Social.   We will serve up strawberry shortcake, made from locally grown berries and homemade biscuits, with ice cream and toppings on Saturday, June 22nd from noon until three.

The museum lawn at 120 High Street will be the site for our event and we serve shortcake “rain or shine”.  Tickets are $6.00 for adults and $2.00 for children.

Our doors will be open to the wonderful displays inside the museum as we invite friends and the community to join us for this delicious event.  Docents will be available to welcome you into the museum and answer your questions. There are always new items to see, especially our newest Browniekar exhibit!

Dec. 14th Lecture for the Holiday Season

Gerald & Lillie Ghidiu

For our annual December lecture, Gerald Ghidiu will present a slide show entitled “Toy Trains Under the Tree: A Look Back”. He will examine the how, when, where and why toy trains came to be operated on a setup under the tree, with an emphasis on how New York State was a key component of this history.

Gerald is a member of N-AHS and lives in Newark. He has been a member of the Train Collectors Assoc. since 1988, and the Ives Toy Train Society since 2004.

The lecture will be held at the museum on Thursday, Dec. 14 at 7:00 p.m.

We hope to see you!
