Current and Upcoming Exhibits in the Museum

This exciting exhibit is a cooperative venture with the Union County Historical Society and features items from the collections of both organizations, together with loans from the White Deer Railroad Society and the Milton Historical Society.  An introductory section speaks of Ludwig Derr and the founding of Lewisburg, with the canal and railroad eras covered by artifacts and photographs. Margaret Gundy’s hat shop is represented, along with an examination of Lewisburg photographers.  

The main part of the Kelly Gallery will feature Lewisburg businesses over the years, including Purity Candy, Herman & Leiser Dry Goods, Roger’s Men’s Wear, Troutman’s Pharmacy, the Roxy Theatre, Union National Bank, and the Lewisburg Saturday News.  Featured will be a switchboard once used by the Buffalo Valley Telephone Company, a corn sheller manufactured by Slifer, Walls, and Shriner, furniture made in Lewisburg, and a variety of photographs taken over the past 150 years.

The exhibit is free for Museum members. Admission for all other visitors is $4.00, or included with a tour of the Museum.  A series of programs related to the exhibit are also planned.  For more information on the exhibit, related programming, or the Packwood House Museum, please call (570) 524-0323
