LBHS Events Calendar
History Celebration Weekend
Enon Valley Community Historical Society is getting ready for this year’s theme: Communication. Enon Valley had its own phone company as early as 1907. We are looking to borrow old telephones (rotary, push button, early cellular), old radios, old tv sets, a telegraph key, a telephone switchboard, etc. Any photos of our early switchboard operators from Enon, Mt. Air, and Darlington, would be wonderful. Please let us know if you can help us with this interesting project!
While planning your trip to this event, stop by the Little Beaver Historical Society and explore the local history of northern Beaver County and surrounding region. Learn about our open museum dates and times, or make an appointment to visit the museum.
