Christmas at the 1905 Museum - And how these events happen

How Things Happen at the 1905 Museum

When you visit the 1905 House Museum at the New Presque Isle Lighthouse and notice something has been changed, for the Christmas event the other day for instance, do you wonder how it happens? Do you wonder who makes it happen? Well it is the volunteers of the Presque Isle Township Museum Society (PITMS) who make these displays happen. 

Of course, Presque Isle Township, through The Parks and Recreation Department own the buildings and grounds, and have and are spending time, effort, and money to maintain them for all of us. But it is PITMS volunteers who do the work, collect donations of artifacts, purchase artifacts, and maintain many of the displays you see. Primarily the artifacts are in the 1905 House, but they are also in both the Lights as well. Next year we will, through an arrangement with the Township, be refurbishing four new rooms with artifacts at the New Presque Isle Lighthouse that were formally used by the Gift Shop.

By becoming a member of PITMS you support all of our efforts. We encourage you to join us, and to subscribe to our email newsletters on our website:  www.PresqueIsleLighthouses.org. If you wish to volunteer in any of efforts please email us at:  PILighthouses@Gmail.com.

Below are are few of the many displays recently decorated at the 1905 House by PITMS.

Please have a Happy Holiday!
