Do visit!
It is a pleasant way to spend a Sunday afternoon and we always enjoy meeting members and friends. In addition to viewing the exhibits, you might choose:
- to sit and look through binders of class photos from years gone by in Bethlehem Schools;
- enjoy a collection of black and white photos taken around town in the 1940's;
- have some fun by trying to solve pictural scavenger hunts that challenge you to locate details in the exhibits;
- and for kids of all ages, there is a touch table holding interesting objects that were once in everyday use.

Current Exhibit
The Life and Times of Anna Hoffman Clapper
The Clapper family saved things - lots of things. They kept letters, receipts, greeting cards, clothing, schoolbooks - all matter of things. Fortunately, the beneficiary of the estate, granddaughter Barbara Wells, recognized the historic value of those seemingly mundane, day to day items and has donated much of it to the museum.
This rich collection, along with Barbara's firsthand memories, has enabled us to present a detailed look at the long life of Anna Hoffman Clapper.
