Open House


Wednesday, December 4, 2024 (1:00—7:00 p.m.)

   
Our featured exhibit will be the iconic Keithan’s Bakery which was located on Market Street in Sunbury.  Their famous lunches and baked goods were known all over the valley. 

Christmas season featured their delicious CLEAR TOY CANDY.

A member of the Keithan family, will be on hand to add her own knowledge of the business.  In addition, Missy Keely Shaffer will be on hand to display and sell CLEAR TOY CANDY, some of which is now made from the original Keithan candy molds.

This is a great opportunity to reminisce about one of the area’s favorite businesses!  Drop in to see our displays of pictures, news articles, and more.  Linger to chat with our visitors and purchase CLEAR TOY CANDY.

There will also be an opportunity to purchase Christmas/Holiday items from our tag sale collection.  NCHS books, souvenirs, and historical materials will also be available.
