Summit Hill

Historical Society

After two full seasons of hanging proudly in the borough, the 2018 banners have been taken down. As detailed on the original application, those who purchased the banners may have them back.

If you purchased a banner or know someone who did, they can be picked up at the Summit Hill Historical Society Museum from 4 to 6 p.m. on Friday. Please note the museum is now located inside the Summit Hill Heritage Center, 1 W. Hazard St. Go in the front door and up the left stairs.

If you purchased a banner but you’re not sure what to do with it when returned, you may leave it in the historical society’s care. The group plans to take any remaining banners and come up with a future display.
