Stop by to browse and purchase beautiful art from local artisans!  The sale is a great opportunity to purchase gifts for family and friends!  A portion of the proceeds benefit the Susquehanna County Historical Society & Free Library Association. 

*An interview with Jim Kessler, of Kessler's Tree Farm in Hallstead.  Our interview with Jim will cover the history of the farm, how to buy a Christmas tree, how to care for it and what to do with it in January 2023!

From all of here at the Association and with the County Master Gardeners, we wish you all a Wonderful Thanksgiving and entry into the holiday season!
