LEHIGH VALLEY WEATHER

Movie night at Laubach Park July 10

The Salisbury Township playground program movie night was postponed due to weather and rescheduled for 7:30 p.m. July 10 at Laubach Park. The movie being shown is “Migration.”

Are you looking for something educational to do with your children this summer? Right here in Salisbury Township is the Museum of Indian Culture, 2825 Fish Hatchery Road. You can learn about the history and culture of Native Americans native to the Lehigh Valley, especially the Lenape Indians. The museum, partnering with the Allentown Parks and Recreation Department, is currently in the planning process of recreating an entire Lenape Village, set to open in the fall of 2025.

You can also learn more about and walk the Lenape Trail at the Little Lehigh Parkway. The museum has partnered with PBS 39 to encourage families to walk the trail and scan the QR codes set up on the trail. Each code will give you little tidbits of information and activities to do as you walk. Museum summer hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday through Sunday. For more information visit www.museumofindianculture.org.
