As always, we will have great live auction items to support the HCS, yummy cookies to taste and fun throughout the day.” HCS president, Lori White further added, “It truly takes a village to pull off Carversville Day, and I am so thankful for the HCS Board for making it happen this year.

In 1726 the first settlers arrived to the area for the construction of several mills along the Paunacussing Creek. More than 100 years later when the post office was established in 1833, it was named Carversville in honor of the Carver family who were early settlers and mill operators. All proceeds for Carversville Day benefit the Historical Carversville Society. For more info, visit us on Facebook @CarversvilleDay and online at www.carversville.org.
