The Edinburg Historical Society has mapped out much of its schedule for 2026, with festivals, new exhibits and other ways for residents and neighbors of this historic town to get involved with learning about our past.

The Spring Bake Sale will take place from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, May 23, at the Edinburg Rural Museum on North Shore Road at the Four Corners. Salads and baked goods are featured. 

The Summer Bake Sale, to include a variety of salads, will be 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Aug. 1, also at the Rural Museum. 

Our Fall Festival will be 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 26, at the Rural Museum, with grilled cheese sandwiches, soups and other foods, including macaroni and cheese. 

Our Holiday Bazaar this year will be from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 24, at the Sand Hill Schoolhouse on Tange Road. It’s a little earlier than usual, so an even better chance to buy some holiday gifts, enter for the chance to win a basket raffle, grab some good food and, of course, meet or reunite with society members.     

Area vendors will sell their wares at each of the events, which are important fundraisers for the society. We’re a welcoming group, so please come patronize our events. 

Museum openings

The board set Saturday, June 27, as the opening day for the Rural Museum and the Nellie Tyrrell Museum — a former schoolhouse just down the road. The museums will be open to all on Saturdays during the summer until Aug. 29, except for July 4. We are forming programs, presentations and exhibits that may include a wintertime display, a special look at a little corner of town and Revolutionary War connections.
