ords have meaning; words have power. But actions are even more impactful, partly because they directly embody levels of commitment. Conestoga American Legion Post 662 not only talks the talk, it walks the walk.

Pictures tell stories differently than words. Photos stimulate visualization, which triggers the imagination in a way that provides one with a different perspective on reality. The America250 exhibit at the New Holland Area Historical Society (NHAHS) uses photos to tell the story of the past. “Yes, a picture is worth a thousand words in that they almost always illicit conversation if there is more than one person looking at them,” said Don Horning, a 16-year member of NHAHS who pulled the exhibit together. “Now, they can talk about it. A picture also has the potential to illicit a thousand words.” NHAHS’s “America at 250: Photos From the Past” exhibit is currently on display at the organization’s museum, which is located at 207 E. Main St., New Holland. NHAHS is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Thursdays and Saturdays, the exhibit is free to view, and everyone is welcome. “Entertainment and knowledge are part of what a museum does,” said Horning. “The photos will engage people just because of their age. We’ve been here for a while.” NHAHS constructed its “America at 250: Photos From the Past” exhibit to commemorate the United States’ milestone birthday and to recognize the role that New Holland played in the country’s development. The display consists of more than 50 donated photos - some as old as 125 years - that are now See NHAHS pg 4
