Calendar of Events

Speaker Meeting July 10, 2025, 7:00 pm

Darwin Seiler, former history teacher in the Waynesboro area school district, will be the speaker. Seiler’s PowerPoint presentation will be about The Battle of Monterey Pass which was part of the retreat from the Battle of Gettysburg. The Monterey Pass battle was fought on the evening of July 4th and the early morning hours of July 5th. This engagement is the only Civil War action to be conducted on both sides of the Mason-Dixon Line. Fought in driving rain and total darkness, the battle of Monterey Pass is, in terms of milage, the longest of the Civil War.  Seiler will also share information on the origins and development of the Monterey Pass Museum and battlefield preservation.


Darwin G. Seiler is a native of Reedsville, Pennsylvania and a graduate of Penn Highlands High School. He attended Temple University on a football scholarship and holds a BSED from Shippensburg University. Seiler retired after 32 years combined as a Social Studies teacher at Westminster, MD and Waynesboro, PA. He is currently a board member of The Friends of Monterey Pass Battlefield Museum and is a frequent speaker on local history 

Carl's Drug Store Exhibit

Summer to Early Fall Exhibition

The Summer 2025 rotating exhibition, at Allison-Antrim Museum, 365 South Ridge Ave, Greencastle, PA, is an exhibition of Carl’s Drug Store memorabilia, dating back to the early 20th Century. The items in the exhibition are from the collection of Frank Ervin, former pharmacist at and owner of Carl’s Drug Store. Carl’s Drug Store is the oldest, continuously, operated drug store in the U.S.  Carl’s Drug Store is also the focus of Greencastle-Antrim’s 2025 Old Home Week.

 

Ervin worked at Carl’s Drug Store following in his father’s footsteps and eventually became the owner of the business.  Among the Dr. Adam Carl family collection is an 1829, framed document with the image of the “young” Dr. Adam Carl.  Drug store items on display include objects that are more than a century old during the time the Carl family owned and operated the drug store beginning in April of 1825 – 200 years ago.
