Historical Foundation Plans World War II Weekend he Lititz Historical Foundation is giving area residents an opportunity to experience the times and culture of the World War II era by holding a free event on Saturday, Sept. 18, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Mary Oehme Gardens, located behind the historical foundation museum at 145 E. Main St., Lititz. The event will include a World War II encampment, featuring more than 20 re-enactors, along with items that were once owned, used, or worn by the servicemen who served. Visitors will learn about Rosie the Riveter as a representative of the women who stepped up and performed important and necessary jobs on the home front. On that subject, “The American Home Front,” a full-sized room-by-room, walkthrough display of a typical 1940s American home, will be on site. In addition, authentic World War II-era artifacts will be on display. The event is free for the public to attend. Donations are always welcome. Readers who have questions may call the foundation at 717-627-4636.

Mission Accomplished …. Lesson Learned BY ANN MEAD ASH

After four years of working toward her Gold Award, recent Warwick High School graduate and Girl Scout with Troop 70256 Abby Musser completed her “One Swing at a Time” project in July and received her Gold Award in August. Along the way, she learned how to overcome fundraising and other obstacles and learned a few lessons that have already influenced her choices for the future. Musser’s project involved installing an adaptive swing in Lititz Springs Park to make it possible for children with special needs

Former Manheim Township supervisor and former Pennsylvania state Rep. Roy Baldwin remembers when Boettcher House Museum in Landis Woods became a township facility in 1996. “We had three objectives for the museum,” recalled Baldwin, who listed preserving natural history, renting the facility, and holding events. In 1999, one of those events, an annual art show, kicked off. “I promoted that because I had good relationships with local artists,” said Baldwin, who mentioned Lisa Madenspacher, See Art Show pg 3
