The Village of Boalsburg will celebrate Memorial Day for the 146th time with a day of activities and a ceremony of remembrance on May 31st.
Boalsburg is widely known as the birthplace of Memorial Day. The first celebration was held in 1864, when three townswomen gathered in the cemetery to decorate the graves of fallen soldiers. The tradition is now carried on by local Girl Scout Troop 1184.
Throughout the day, nearly 20,000 visitors will have a chance to spend a day in town, tempting their taste buds with local foods and shopping for wares from artisans from across the Northeast. Three museums; the Boalsburg Heritage Museum, the Boal Mansion and the Pennsylvania Military Museum -- will have family oriented activities throughout the day, including encampments and a battle by Civil War re-enactors.
The day kicks off with a Fun Run at Blue Spring Park at 8:30 AM. The festival runs from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and features local musicians, a traditional Maypole dance and local artisans. The 6:00 PM service caps the day with a community address by a leading local citizen. Read all about it!
