Music series to benefit historical society

Milford — The Pike County Historical Society (PCHS) is proud to bring a lineup of local talent to Bar Louis at the Hotel Fauchere, in Milford, for a winter benefit music series titled “Winter Wednesdays.” The intimate atmosphere in which these diverse, talented musicians will perform makes for a very special evening for all in attendance. The Pike County Historical Society, home of the Columns Museum, encourages your support in their bid to acquire the much needed dollars to keep the museum in good repair. This spring they will take on the costly job of painting the exterior of the building and repairing the decaying soffits. The 1904 neo-classical structure is an important part of the architectural history of our community and the organization serves as the official Historical Society of Pike County. “The musicians who are donating their talents for Winter Wednesdays should be applauded for taking time out of their busy schedules to help our cause,” said Lori Strelecki, museum director. Bobby Kyle, who will kick off the series on Feb. 4, is a life time resident of Pike County with an exceptional knowledge of its history. His reminiscences will add a personal touch to his performance. All the musicians involved certainly show their love of history in contributing to the event and are dedicated to “keeping history alive” as Celeste Triebeneck said, “through the donation of song.” Tickets to individual performances are $25 per person and reservations are strongly suggested, as seating is limited. A “Season Pass” can be obtained for a discounted rate of $75, and insures admission to all four performances. To reserve your place at Winter Wednesdays please call Lori at 570-296-8126 or email your request to pikemuse@ptd.net.
