Laceyville will be loaded with activities on September 29 and 30, as the ‘Muzzleloaders’ Rendezvous’ returns to the Oldest House on Main Street. Visitors will find a wideranging display of antique and custom guns, cannon, powder horns, hunting pouches and accessories. You can observe and talk with gun builders and living historians, and have the opportunity to view a unique representation of 18th Century historical artwork and a showing of antique firearms and Indian artifacts.
Scores of Revolutionary War, French and Indian War and Civil War re-enactors will likely be on hand at the Rendezvous, which draws many visitors from as far away as Delaware and the New England states. The Oldest House will also be open for tours throughout the event, and food will be available. Be sure to try the Oldest House Chili and baked goods.
There will be raffles for a beautiful oil painting by Charles J. Kovalick of Noxen, as well as six other high interest and quality items. Tickets cost only $2 each and are available at the Wyalusing Chamber of Commerce offi ce, Jeanne’s Beauty Salon in Laceyville, Laceyville Hardware, and the Laceyville Library. Tickets are also available at The Oldest House Friday through Sunday between 1-4 p.m. The money raised through the raffl e will be used to help pay for the much needed siding and re-enforcement of the west wall of the house.
The show runs Saturday, September 29, from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. and Sunday, September 30, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is free to the public.
