EVENTS BY THE CRAWFORD COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY and Our America's 250th Partners!
CULTURE, EDUCATION, ENTERTAINMENT, AND FUN
The Crawford County Historical Society is an active contributor to the Crawford County community, offering a full calendar of events year-round. Our events are intended to appeal to every age and many interests, and they are made possible, in part, thanks to our many corporate sponsors.
OUR RANGE OF EVENTS
The Society is pleased to offer a wide variety of events ranging from re-enactments to movie nights on the lawn. Others include dinner theaters, offering mystery and laughter for patrons as they enjoy a delicious meal in a historic setting. For the culture lovers, the Society offers expert speakers, an annual special exhibit gala, and special concerts. This year, as part of the Semiquincentennial celebration of our country, we even have events on our calendar from affiliates and partners countywide to help celebrate America's 250th!
All this and we haven’t even mentioned our most popular event, the Eleanor Davies Croquet Classic and Garden Party. It’s a can’t miss event held every July that draws in people from across the region who want to show off their fancy duds and skills with a mallet on the lush front lawns of Meadville’s grand mansions along Terrace Street.
