PAVILLION RENTAL

The William Balsley Pavilion was completed in June of 2011. The previous pavilion (picture to the right) was destroyed by the severe snow storm of February, 2010. The construction of the pavilion was made possible by grants from the Laurel Highlands Visitors Bureau Hotel Tax and the Community Foundation of Fayette County. The pavilion was built by contractor Keith Miller of Connellsville. We use our pavilion for Society and civic programs; most notably for the yearly Braddock's Crossing festival. But we also make the pavilion available for rental on a daily basis. The rental fee is $100.00 per day (for members the rental fee is $75.00). This gives you access to the pavilion with six (6) picnic tables and the Springhouse (pictured below) for restroom facilities and the refrigerator. Rental time runs from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM. An application can be obtained by calling the office at 724-628-5344 or by clicking on the link below to download an application to your printer.

November Meeting Of the Connellsville area Historical Society

Wednesday, November 13th, 2024 @6:30pm

At the Connellsville Presbyterian Church

The PRIDE IN CONNELLSVILLE AREA POETRY AND POSTER CONTEST

Fall, 2024

The Pride in Connellsville Area Poster and Poetry Contest was created for the Connellsville Area Historical Society by Mrs. Deborah Mullaney.

The history of this contest dates back approximately 30 years.

The purpose of the contest is to develop an interest in local history by having the children in grades 4-9 research an aspect of Connellsville Area history, and then create a poem or poster illustrating that chapter in our local history.

Instructions for the contest are taken to each public and private school within our district with the rules for the contest.

Winners are awarded cash prizes and are invited to a reception where they present their projects, receive their prizes, and enjoy refreshments. This event is held as our November meeting, November 13, 2024 at 6:30 pm, of the Connellsville Historical Society.

The reception has been held for years in the Connellsville Presbyterian Church.

Students are honored with their pictures in the Daily Courier, and the winning projects are given a two page spread in the winter issue of Connellsville Crossroads magazine.
