The organization hosts special events like Christmas open houses and downtown tours, inviting the public to engage in Punxsutawney history. Attend or volunteer for these events. Programs and classes, such as the ongoing “Early Settlers” series, focus on historical eras. Join to help with crafts or transportation logistics, bringing in children as well.
