Community Events
The Historical Society sponsors a number of events for the community each year. Everyone is welcome to attend, and everyone is even more welcome to help.
Below is a listing of the annual events, as well as any special work details or events scheduled.
Easter Egg Hunt
April 4, at 12 PM
Sorry, but due to concerns over the potential spread of the coronavirus, we have had to cancel the Easter Egg Hunt this year.
However, the Easter Bunny will be at the Borough Hall on April 4th at noon. Please bring your child to receive a special gift bag.
Senior Luncheon
May 20
12:00 noon at the William Penn Fire House (123 Main Street)
Every spring the Hulmeville Historical Society sponsors the Senior Luncheon as a way to honor the senior residents of the Borough. The date this year is Wednesday, May 20 at 12pm in the hall at the Wm Penn Fire Company. The meal is free but reservations are needed.
We need bakers to provide the desserts. Help is needed to set up the tables and to serve and clean up after the meal. After being in all winter this is a good time to catch up with neighbors and friends. See you there!
