The Bartholomew Center for the Preservation of Lower Macungie Township History reopened to the public July 12. The headquarters for the Lower Macungie Township Historical Society had been shuttered for several months by the coronavirus pandemic.

With the state now operating in the “green” phase, society members readied the facility by following COVID-19 safety guidelines. These include a temperature check for staff and visitors, hand sanitizer at the front desk and requirements for masks and social distancing.

The museum occupies the lower level of the Camp Olympic barn, 3120 S. Cedar Crest Blvd. It is open 1 to 4 p.m. Sundays (except holidays) or by appointment. Admission is free. For more information, visit Information: www.lmthistory.org.
