The 14th annual Schuylkill County History Fair will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Fairlane Village mall. The Schuylkill County Coalition of Historical Societies and Museums hosts the event in recognition of American History Month.

“The main purpose has always been to get the word out about the historical societies,” said Jennifer Bowen, coalition founder.


Bowen said this year’s event features 13 participants: Ashland Area Historic Preservation Society, Auburn Area Historical Society, Girardville Historical Society, Greater Shenandoah Area Historical Society, Orwigsburg Historical Society, Minersville Area Historical Society, Railway Restoration Project 113, Saint Clair Community and Historical Society, Schuylkill County Agriculture Museum, Schuylkill County Historical Society, Schuylkill Haven history collection, Tamaqua Historical Society and Tremont Area Historical Society.

In addition to seeing the exhibits, the public will have the opportunity to buy historical publications and items, obtain membership information and gather genealogical research information.
The society also plans to display Prohibition liquor license applications and a collection of milk and beverage bottles. They will also have gifts for sale, such as county maps and thousands of picture copies.
