Keith Valley MS, 227 Meetinghouse Rd, Horsham PA
Join your neighbors from across Montgomery and Bucks Counties and Northeast Philly for the 3rd Annual Crooked Billet History Fair -- which celebrates the Revolutionary War's Battle of the Crooked Billet -- a wonderful afternoon for adults, seniors, families, students, kids, educators, enthusiasts, and anyone who loves history and their community!
The 2025 fair - the area's premier FREE annual history event - will offer over FORTY exhibitors from Hatboro, Philadelphia, and across Bucks and Montgomery Counties including historical societies, museums, municipalities, community organizations, and more.
These organizations will offer their fascinating artifacts, maps, photos, documents, models, apparel, photo ops, accessories, and concessions to showcase our shared local history and those that keep the light on to preserve it, engage in discussions and answer questions.
The large event also includes special historical presentations and demonstrations all day in the auditorium and outside on the lawn, plus games, reenactors, speakers, free swag, community engagement, and more.
This year's fair will be bigger and better than ever, and includes a free fair tote bag for the first 250 guests -- all presented by local sponsors for the first time. And don't miss the homemade fudge!
