The Mercer County Historical Society is proud to announce its participation in Munnell Run Farm Day on Sunday, September 18 from 11:00-5:00.    There will be numerous activities, including music, family nature walks and scavenger hunt, wagon rides, traditional artisans at work, a quilt show, tours of the demonstration farm, and the historical society’s Rural Life Museum. This museum, dedicated to preserving reminders of our rural heritage, is full of artifacts from Mercer County’s agrarian past.
