The Lebanon Valley Historical Society Annual Potluck Picnic and a Movie is on Monday, June 15, starting at 6 pm at the Shaker Meadows Bed & Breakfast, 14209 Route 22 in New Lebanon. The picnic is free and open to the public. Bring a dish to share. Wine, soft drinks, coffee and tea will be provided.
Following the picnic, we will view “The Shaker Swamp Project,” a 30 minute documentary film by Ted Timreck, which portrays discoveries in the 500 acre Shaker Swamp. The project is identifying the medicinal plants still found in the Swamp that were the basis of Shaker remedies and later Tilden Pharmaceuticals. Some project participants will be on hand to answer questions. For directions call Doug Banker at 518-794-9764.
