Join us for The 2026 Crooked Billet History Fair, the area's premier FREE annual history event! Experience exhibitors, games, presentations, activities, costumed characters, demonstrations, speakers, free swag, community, and more —showcasing shared local history and those that keep the light on to preserve it, with a full program of 30 exhibitors from Hatboro, Philadelphia, and across Bucks and Montgomery Counties.
This year’s fair will be bigger and better than ever, with more attendees, presentations, exhibitors, and giveaways, including a free fair tote bag (first 250 guests) — all presented by local sponsors for the first time.
This popular annual fair — organized by The Millbrook Society — draws history enthusiasts, families, educators, and students from across Bux-Mont and Philly to engage with historical societies, museums, municipalities, community organizations, and more (see exhibitors below) showcasing artifacts, maps, photos, documents, models, apparel, accessories, and other items.
Come learn about our area, share stories of our history, hear what historical societies do to preserve and promote our heritage, and discover resources to assist in your own historical research. And enjoy historical presentations, reenactors, lectures, kids’ games, photo ops, concessions, and more (see activities below).
The 2026 fair is so big, it had to be moved to the New Keith Valley Middle School campus. If you haven't had a chance to see the new school, join us and have a look!
