On Saturday, May 23, the Northumberland County Historical Society hosted a special event. The Old Jail was open to visitors, and our historical and genealogical library in the basement, along with the museum on the second floor, was open to the public. We thank all those who came by to see us despite the inclement weather and we will have another open house in the future.
