SUMMARY:Fall Oyster Festival 2026
DESCRIPTION:A fall family event for the entire community\n\nCrisp autumn air\, vibrant colors\, live music\, amazing food\, and fun for the whole family: The Fall Oyster Festival is back\, and this year it’s bigger and better than ever\, thanks to a generous group of sponsors\, including Presenting Sponsor White Rose Bar & Grill. Join us in the heart of historic downtown York for a perfect fall Sunday you won’t want to miss. \n\nYour perfect fall day starts here\n\nThere’s no better way to celebrate the season than spending a Sunday afternoon outside surrounded by the beauty of a York autumn. The Colonial Complex provides a stunning historic backdrop for a day filled with great energy\, warm flavors\, and community connection. \nWhether you’re strolling with the kids\, exploring with friends\, or making it a date day\, the Fall Oyster Festival has everything you need for an unforgettable fall outing. Never tried an oyster before? This is your chance. Whether you eat them by the dozen or lean more toward land-locked fare\, we have you covered! \nAn event linked to York’s history\nIn 1974\, the History Center threw an oyster-themed party. The occasion: the 10th anniversary of the restoration of the Gates House and the Plough Tavern\, two colonial-era landmarks that anchor our campus in the heart of downtown York. Why oysters? Because the restoration work uncovered layers of oyster shells. Oysters were a common\, inexpensive food item in colonial York. For that first Oyster Festival\, the community showed up. They’ve been showing up ever since. \nCome to this year’s 52nd Fall Oyster Festival and see what makes this one of York’s most anticipated fall traditions. \nFind us in the heart of downtown York\nThe Fall Oyster Festival takes place at the Colonial Complex\, nestled in the heart of downtown York along Pershing Avenue between Market and Philadelphia streets. It’s a gorgeous\, walkable\, historic setting that is close to York’s high-quality shops and restaurants.

SUMMARY:Young Lewis Miller - Presentation and Book Signing
DESCRIPTION:Attention Writers’ Roundtable\, \nOn October 15 at 6:30 p.m. Jay Davidson will discuss his recently published book Young Lewis Miller: A Boy’s Life in the 1800s.  The book is available for purchase at the History Center and through their online store here. \nJay will sign copies of his book following the presentation.  Registration is recommended. \nJay will also sign books at the YCHC Fall Oyster Festival on Oct. 18 from 11 to 4 p.m. \nWhat was it like to be a young boy growing up in the early 1800s in York? Author Jay Davidson helps answer that question in the new book he wrote and edited Young Lewis Miller\, A Boy’s Life in the 1800s. Readers can follow Lewis Miller’s drawings as he grows from a 3-year-old boy to a 21-year-old young adult in this richly illustrated book. Published by the York County History Center and timed for the nation’s 250th anniversary\, the book is aimed at young readers with the hope that it will bring this noted York County folk artist’s work to new generations. \nJames Latimer (Jay) Davidson grew up in York. His banking career took him from Manhattan to Hong Kong\, Boston and Beijing. Now living in Southern California\, his interest in genealogy has led to a renewed appreciation of the art and history of York County.

Its native stone walls\, seven fireplaces\, and hand carved woodwork have been painstakingly restored to their original beauty and character\, with interior decor in the traditional eighteenth century manner. Many of the home’s antique furnishings are identical to those listed in the inventory of Rev. Dobbin’s estate. The china and flatware exactly match fragments which were unearthed during the re-excavation of the cellar. The servant’s period-clothing is authentic to the local area. \nThe Dobbin House features the Springhouse Tavern; casual dining\, the Alexander Dobbin Dining Rooms; fine dining\, the Abigail Adams ballroom; banquet dining\, the Gettystown Inn; a bed and breakfast in three historic buildings\, the Country Curiosity Store; boutique shopping and guided 4-century history tours of the house. \nAs an authentic colonial tavern\, many visitors say the allure of Dobbin House stays with them long after their visit. More than a superior culinary delight\, to step into the iconic house is an enchanting journey back to the charming quaintness and lively spirit of Gettysburg’s and America’s beginnings.

SUMMARY:Saving the Dobbin House
DESCRIPTION:Saving the Dobbin House \nBy the 1970s\, the Dobbin House stood at the brink of loss—weathered\, neglected\, and facing possible demolition. In 1976\, during the nation’s Bicentennial\, one young couple and a team of experts began the process of saving it. \nThrough photographs\, stories\, and behind-the-scenes insights\, this program traces the remarkable restoration that brought the house back to life—preserving not just a building\, but a tangible link to Gettysburg’s colonial past. Longtime owner Jackie White\, who led the restoration\, will present this special closing program in the Dobbin House Dinner Series. \nThis program will take place Thursday\, August 27th at 89 Steinwehr Avenue\, Gettysburg. Dinner will be at 6 p.m. followed by the program at 7 p.m. \nThe dinner buffet will include: Tuscan salmon over rice pilaf\, chicken primavera over cavatappi pasta\, vegetable lasagna\, roasted asparagus\, roasted garlic parmesan red potatoes\, cheesecake\, chocolate mousse\, and fruit tarts. \nRegistration is required. The cost is $60 per person for dinner and the program. Program-only tickets are not available. \n\n \nNew ticketing link: https://113910.blackbaudhosting.com/113910/Saving-the-Historic-Dobbin-House

Built in 1776\, it is the oldest building in Gettysburg\, celebrating its 250th birthday alongside the birthday of the United States of America in 2026. \nThe Dobbin House\, appearing virtually the same as it did over 200 years ago\, stands as testament to the fortitude of the American spirit as well as the quality of genuine American craftsmanship. Its native stone walls\, seven fireplaces\, and hand carved woodwork have been painstakingly restored to their original beauty and character\, with interior decor in the traditional eighteenth century manner. Many of the home’s antique furnishings are identical to those listed in the inventory of Rev. Dobbin’s estate. The china and flatware exactly match fragments which were unearthed during the re-excavation of the cellar. The servant’s period-clothing is authentic to the local area in the 18th century. \nThe Dobbin House features the Springhouse Tavern; casual dining\, the Alexander Dobbin Dining Rooms; fine dining\, the Abigail Adams ballroom; banquet dining\, the Gettystown Inn; a bed and breakfast in three historic buildings\, the Country Curiosity Store; boutique shopping and guided 4-century history tours of the house. \nAs an authentic colonial tavern\, many visitors say the allure of Dobbin House stays with them long after their visit. More than a superior culinary delight\, to step into the iconic house is an enchanting journey back to the charming quaintness and lively spirit of Gettysburg’s and America’s beginnings.
