Looking for something to do this Saturday? The History Center's Eight Square Schoolhouse Festival will run from noon to 4:00pm at the Eight Square Schoolhouse on Hanshaw Road, just south of Route 13. It's a free event with activities for both adults and children.
They'll have ice cream, music, games, storytelling, and of course the brick octagon schoolhouse itself. If you'd like to get an idea of what it looks like, I posted an article on the 2005 festival with a photo gallery.
Update: I just got a schedule via email:
