We also feature a display of artifacts of the businesses of Kreidersville in Allen Township. This year being the 250th Anniversary of our Declaration of Independence we are working on a display of events and documents leading up to the Declaration it's acceptance in 1776 and the aftermath of Revolution and the Constitution.
