Education Program  

Our Education Program presently targeted toward school children.  The Society also sponsors an educational hands-on program for a fee in three of our period buildings. We focus on life in East Berlin area in the late 18th and early 19th Century.

A textile program in Red Men's Hall explains how a raw product such as wool or flax is turned into cloth.  In our one room schoolhouse, the students cipher on slates, write on paper with a quill pen and ink and then seal with wax. The log house has an open-hearth cooking program where students make and eat biscuits and learn about early life in East Berlin.

The education committee always needs volunteers to help with these programs. The duties are interesting and rewarding. We need help with volunteers to guide each group to the buildings and no costume is needed.  In addition, Docents/historical interpreters and helpers are needed to pass papers, assist with learning stations. Costumes are provided. If interested in becoming a volunteer, please call our office at 717-259-0822, Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday during the hours of 10:00 am to 3:00 pm. or e-mail us at ebhps@comcast.net.
