South BethlehemHistorical Society

Welcome!

From the President
Summer 2010

Even as we enjoyed the Southside photo contest in April 2010, we continue planning events and programs to celebrate our 25th Anniversary, 2010-2011.

Forthcoming events highlighting this milestone year are yet to be announced. In June, look for the Arcadia publication, South Bethlehem at local bookstores. We look forward to reading South Bethlehem's story through this nationally recognized publication.
