Help the Joy VFW Post 5752 support our Hometown Heroes

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18yw1aVZ78/

Mount Joy has a lot of banners that are fading or damaged and need to be replaced. Wouldn't it be nice to replace these banners before July 4th, the 250th anniversary of the United States? Unfortunately, we do not have contact information for some of the people that sponsored these banners. If you know the family of one of these Hometown Heros and the banners are faded, can you let that family know that the banner can be replaced? Maybe a banner near your home or business is faded and damaged. Anyone can donate money toward replacing a banner. Help us by sharing this post.

🏫 Explore the History of a One-Room Schoolhouse – June 15

Join the Mount Joy Area Historical Society on Monday, June 15, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. at the Cemetery Road Schoolhouse (120 Fairview Street, Mount Joy) for a fascinating presentation by Mary Nolt.

Learn about the common school movement in Lancaster County, daily life in a one-room schoolhouse, spelling bees, winter class trips, and the strong sense of community these schools helped create.

🫖 Refreshments and museum tours follow the program.
📅 Free and open to the public (donations appreciated).

The Historical Society Museum is open every Sunday from 1–4 p.m. Learn more at mountjoyhistory.com and follow the Society on Facebook and Instagram for updates.
