In December, guests enjoyed touring the festively decorated Watson-Curtze Mansion and Wood-Morrison House.

On Monday October 14, 2019, a teacher in-service was held in the HHC Education Center in the Wood-Morrison House.

There’s still time for a year-end gift to the ECHS.   Gifts to the Annual Fund are used to support student field trips, maintain the Watson-Curtze Mansion and Wood-Morrison House, or help promote Erie’s heritage for current and future generations.
