Monday, December 31

Since at least as early as the 1870s, Burkittsville residents have gathered on New Year's Eve to ring the church bells. SMHS joins the Town of Burkittsville in keeping this wonderful tradition alive and invites you to a small reception with snacks at the museum on New Year's Eve beginning at 11:30 pm. At midnight, the bell of the museum will toll the new year and visitors are invited to ring the bells of St. Paul's Church next door.
