Multiple children’s activities such as pumpkin painting will be offered, and a rope-maker will craft ropes that kids can take home. In addition to its many vendors, Fall Fest will welcome members of the Circle Legacy Center to present an authentic view of Native American history and culture. The Circle Legacy Center will have a table at the event and provide informational materials; past years’ festivals have included fur displays and a demonstration of Native American chants.
Fall Fest is a tradition that began over 20 years ago with the purpose of stirring interest in the area’s history, even from those visiting Lancaster County. “We get visitors from all over the country that might have had ancestors from Lancaster County and want to search for information. You can’t even imagine how much there is to see here,” said Jim Kauffman, a member of the historical society since its early days. The Conestoga Area Historical Society was established in 1990 to preserve the history of the Penn Manor area. Its facility consists of several authentic historical buildings and artifacts preserved in its museum. The museum contains
three floors and a collection of Native American displays and artifacts, as well as three original Conestoga wagons that date back to the Revolutionary War. The upper floors are divided into rooms that depict different aspects of life early in American history, including a schoolhouse, living room, dining room and church area dating back to the 19th century. The historical society’s campus also contains a log cabin that was constructed in 1733 and was moved from its original location in another part of the county.
