The 10th annual Schuylkill County History Fair at the Fairlaine Village mall is a place to find your roots.
The free event, which has grown from a few people to hundreds, is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.
The point of the event, organized by the Schuylkill County Coalition of Historical Societies and Museums, is to give people a centralized location to learn about the history of the county and give them a chance to connect with the historical societies from local towns.
The Historical Society of Schuylkill County has been around since 1903. Since then, active societies have emerged in Orwigsburg, Pine Grove, Cressona, Ashland, Mahanoy City, Shenandoah, Frackville, Minersville, Port Clinton, Saint Clair, Schuylkill Haven, Tremont, Shenandoah, Girardville and Auburn.
