Thank you to Beatrice and Stan Christoff, who have donated a scrapbook of World War II military stories from the Northampton area. It was created by Beatrice's grandmother, Hattie Ruch, and includes newspaper clippings of the men and women that appeared in our local press.
Beatrice has placed each of the clippings in plastic sleeves to preserve them and she has created an index listing each of the servicemen and women by page number. It is an invaluable artifact of the role of our local effort in the defeat of the Axis Powers in WW II.
A copy of the index is available here:

The Northampton Area Historical Society announces the cancellation of its Fall Garage and Mum Sale due to the pandemic. The annual sales have been popular for many people who have supported the society for many years. The pandemic has also forced the cancellation of our monthly open houses and our ongoing programs on the “Businesses of a Bygone Era”. We are very thankful for the members of the community who have used the pandemic lockdown to cull their personal collections of business artifacts and made donations of these items to our collection. We hope to announce a return of our Business programs as soon as possible. Please contact us if you have items or monetary donations that you may wish to contribute.
