The Winters Heritage House Museum offers a variety of programming throughout the year, including workshops for children and adults. The organization also hosts community groups such as local Girl Scout troops, which meet on the premises, and leads an annual walking tour for third-grade students, which is tentatively set to return this spring. Swartz estimated that the museum has held an annual craft show for at least 30 years. “We do it to help support the community and food bank and also to give local craftspeople a platform to showcase their work,” she remarked. “We like to recognize local crafters.” For more information on the Heritage Craft Show, visit www.elizabethtownhistory.org.
