In 2008 HSDC will join the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission in a focus on the year 1933 and the 75th anniversary of the New Deal. Many of our events relate to this theme.

Mondays at the Mansion programs are free and open to the public. Light refreshments are served. Reservations are greatly appreciated, but not required. Free parking is offered by PinnacleHealth System in the surface lot immediately behind the Mansion Carriage House (enter from River Street). We thank the speakers who make the programs possible.

The Mondays at the Mansion series is financed by a grant from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Community and Economic Development.
