Thank you to the Shippensburg American Legion Post 223 for your donation to the SHC! We greatly appreciate your support!
Visitors often ask, “Why do we have several of these miniatures located in all of our exhibits?” The answer is, it’s part of our scavenger hunt for our younger learners, however, anyone can play.
Today is National Pet Day! Here are some photographs of unknown individuals and or pets that are in our collection. #nationalpetday #nationalpetday2024
We had a great time during our Tools of a Civil War Cavalryman program.
Some great photos from the partial eclipse in our area!
Another successful program! This program was about the Tools of the Civil War cavalryman.
Thank you to the Shippensburg Corn Festival for awarding the SHC $1,050.00 to help with the preservation of the Stewart House. This funding will be used to make repairs to the second floor windows. We appreciate your contribution and community partnership.
What a wonderful Lunch and Learn at the Franklin County 11/30 Visitors Center today! We had the chance to mingle with the public as well some of our partners while promoting our history with Franklin County! Thank you FCVB for always including us in your events!
Happened yesterday! A halo is a ring or light that forms around the sun or moon as the sun or moon light refracts off ice crystals present in a thin veil of cirrus clouds. The halo is usually seen as a bright, white ring although sometimes it can have color.
In honor of #WomensHistoryMonth, on display, and sorry for the glare, we have broadside advertising free courses for the workforce with emphasis on women. During World War II, and with shortages of manpower, women performed many jobs and learned new skills in the workplace.
We want to thank the Stabler Foundation awarding us $5,000.00 for the upgrades to our outer building that will be turned into an exhibit space.
It's #internationalwomensday2024! Women have had important roles throughout history and this day is dedicated to celebrating those achievements of women all around the world.
We're gearing up and stuffing eggs for our annual Easter egg hunt that begins at 1:00 PM, Saturday, March 30th.
Emma Bugbee, May 19, 1888, in Shippensburg. She attended Barnard College. Emma became a reporter for the New York Herald Tribune and was the first woman to be hired. She was an active reporter as well as a participant in the Women’s Suffrage movement.
Happening this Saturday, March 2, from 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM
What a great turnout for our Saturday's Tools of the Civil War Soldier program!
It was just announced that the SHC was among the 121 awardees of the Americana Corner grant. This grant will allow us to construct a bread oven to do educational programming. We want to thank Tom Hand and Americana Corner for their continued support. #americanacornergrants
In honor of #BlackHistoryMonth2024, we have a photograph of the Harrisburg Giants professional baseball team that was taken some time around 1916, although some sources say 1906. Some of these men were from the area. #BlackHistoryMonth
Since it's Valentine's Day, we couldn't go without sharing at least one of our holiday or special day postcards from the late Victorian era. This one is from 1908.
