Also, we've been working hard in preparation of two brand-new Exhibits
1) German Heritage Exhibit
2) African American Heritage / Underground Railroad Exhibit
These exhibits will portray the diverse contributions to Blair County's development over the last 200+ years, by immigrants -and their descendants- from Germany, and the African continent respectively.
The German Heritage Exhibit replaces the Italian Heritage Exhibit in our 2nd floor hallway
The African American History / Underground Railroad Exhibit replaces our 19th Century toy-room exhibit.
That's how beautiful our Baker Mansion was for Christmas 2023
