Unique, handcrafted items will be featured in a historic setting when the Winters Heritage House Museum hosts the 34th annual Elizabethtown Heritage Craft Show. The show will be held from 4 to 8 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 8, and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 9, at the museum, 47 E. High St., Elizabethtown.

Each room of the historic log homes and Victorian Coble House that make up the museum site will be filled with a wide variety of artisans and crafters. Items for sale will include jellies and jams, handmade soaps and candles, natural beauty care products, wood working, hand-forged iron, paper crafts, jewelry and hand-sewn items. Additionally, the Winters Heritage House Museum's own quilt and craft groups will be selling hand-quilted and handcrafted items.

"The Elizabethtown Heritage Craft Show has become a greatly anticipated community tradition," said museum director Teresa St. Angelo. "The historic log cabins make a unique backdrop for people perusing the many talented vendors as they shop for that perfect gift. While we are a smaller event, the craft show committee carefully reviewed each vendor application to ensure a variety of quality items would be offered." 

In addition to the vendors, Winters Heritage House Museum will sell hot dogs plus pulled pork sandwiches and chicken rivel soup from Gene Wenger's Meats and Fine Foods. A silent basket auction will also be available through 2:30 p.m. on Saturday.

"Thanks to the generous donations of area businesses and organizations, we have some great items to bid on, including a NAPA car care bucket, Lancaster Stormers tickets, Dutch Apple Dinner Theatre (tickets) and admission to several area museums," St. Angelo added.

Winters Heritage House Museum is located a half-block from the town square in Elizabethtown. Two of the buildings included in the museum property date to the founding of the town. The museum is a community project run mostly by volunteers and provides Elizabethtown with educational programs, the preservation of local history and a genealogy research library.

There is a small admission charge for the craft show, or people may bring a nonperishable food item or a personal care item to donate to the Community Cupboard of Elizabethtown. Parking for the craft show will be available on the street as well as in a free lot behind 33 E. High St. For more information, follow the Winters Heritage House Museum on Facebook, visit http://www.elizabethtownhistory.org or call 717-367-4672.
