VERNON — The Vernon Township Historical Society’s “Those Were the Days” program will present Vernon’s historic homes on Sunday, March 22, at 2 p.m. at the Senior Citizens Center on Church Street.

The event will include speakers, exhibits, and free refreshments.

Vernon’s most historic homes will be featured during this two-hour long presentation that is free and open to the public. Among the speakers will be Vernon historian Ronald J. Dupont Jr.

If you have photos of the township’s historic homes, sites, and people, bring them for instant scanning and adding to the Society’s archives. Your documents will be returned immediately unharmed. The Senior Citizens Center is in the back of the municipal center.
