This is the year for changes at Harrisburg! In the past, we have had Open House events on 2 Sundays of each month from the end of May to the beginning of September. This year, to hopefully attract more participants, we have decided to have only one Sunday per month, but with a lot more kick to it!
Other events to be held this summer are as follows:
July 7 – We will be celebrating our Veterans with a Car Show.
August 4 – We will be celebrating 4H
September 15 – We will be hosting a Farmer’s Market & a Tractor Show .

The school replicates early days with many original items and a step into the past. The basement is a museum of historical Town of Troy items and artifacts. A Veterans display is included. Heritage Museum is adjacent to the school.
HERITAGE MUSEUM was added in 1995 and includes tools and implements that would have been used by farmers in an earlier era and a Farm Kitchen. Greeters will be present at each OPEN HOUSE. Come see and enjoy the experience at the Harrisburg-Troy Historical School!
