Join HSDC during our

Spring Membership Drive! 

 

We're inviting you to become a member of one of Pennsylvania's oldest

historical organizations - and offering four free passes (a $32 value)

if you join before May 31.


 
Your membership will give you free admission to the Harris-Cameron Mansion throughout the year, and your free passes will admit four friends! You'll also be entered in a drawing for a free rental of the Mansion's social rooms for up to 25 people (regularly $150 an hour) for a private event such as a birthday party or bridal shower.

 

Why join now? You'll become part of an exciting venture that lies ahead-the celebration of the 250th Anniversary of the Mansion in 2016. We are planning many exciting programs and festive events to illuminate the history of this National Historic Landmark and its famous residents.

 

We've been around since 1869 and have always relied on the support of folks like you to sustain and enhance what we offer to our members and the general public. You make possible the preservation of the mansion and grounds; our monthly public programming; our exhibits and special events; collecting and preserving records, documents, artifacts and photographs of Dauphin County; a research library for historians and genealogists; tours for school students; and internships for high school and college scholars.

 

We're also all about planning events and programs that will enlighten and entertain you-like our Victorian teas with re-enactors bringing to life characters from the past. We offer expert speakers on any number of topics related to our region. We have fun events like an evening with John Harris, Jr., at a local historic tavern. Don't forget Hallowe'en ghost tours for the whole family, and Independence Day, where kids can dress up in Colonial garb while adults hear a reading of the Declaration. And the area's premier holiday party, Deck the Halls, offers fine food and drink amid gorgeous traditional decorations.

 

Thank you from the Board of Trustees, staff, and volunteers as we continue to make connections with the past here in Dauphin County. Hurry! Join today for a year of excitement and delight-and free passes for family and friends.

 

With all good wishes,


 
JOHN K. ROBINSON

 President
