Join the Van Harlingen Historical Society for an interactive, family-friendly program celebrating Montgomery’s rich history!

Explore a hands-on “show and tell” experience featuring artifacts, maps, photographs, and postcards from Montgomery’s past. Families can move from table to table to examine historic objects up close and learn about the stories behind these pieces of local history.
