In early November, the PRD Group came to the Hagen History Center to meet with staff to plan future exhibits.

After 10 months of construction, the new exhibit building has been completed!

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. 

Shelby Graml became the HHC’s Events and Outreach Coordinator in November.
