Reenactment of the Encampment at Moland House - On Saturday, August 20th, members of the Millbrook Society participated in the annual reenactment of the encampment of the Continental Army at Moland. The event began at 10 am and continued till 4 pm. Over 300 guests attended.
The Millbrook Society has received a $5,000 grant from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for our Costumed Interpretation Program. The monies are being used for special guest speakers, musicians, and to purchase period costumes for our program.
Society member, Ron Beifuss, retired from the Board of Directors in May, 2011. He was a founding member of the Society, in 1984. Over the last 27 years, he has served as President, Vice President, Treasurer, and a member of the Board of Directors. Ron has also been a member of our Research Team, and on the Museum Committee for many years. We certainly appreciate his 27 years of service and dedication.
During 2011, the Society led in the erection and dedication of three historical markers in Hatboro, one for the Union Library, another for the Roberts & Mander Stove Works, and a third for the Saint Louis Chapel.
Edward M. and Alice M. Williams, former Society members, have made a large donation of over $12,000 to the Society. The Society was one of many recipients of the Alice and Edward Williams Charitable Annuity. In the past when they moved away from Hatboro, they donated a large quantity of books to our library.
Our dig sites are now closed for archaeology at the Log College Monument, the Scout Property and the Moland House. The schedule will be established for 2012 in the spring.
