The Red Lion Area Historical Society Museum will be open these same hours!
Join us for our next meeting, November 19, 2026, a week earlier than usual because of Thanksgiving. Our program will take you back in time to when accessories made the outfit. We’ll focus on the era between 1880 and 1940. We’ll have photos of Red Lion folks and actual items from our collection. Maybe we can get Lynne to model a few of the things.
This meeting will be held at St John’s UCC, 161 North Main St, Red Lion. There is plenty of parking behind the church. Meetings start at 7:00
