These Truths are Not Self-Evident: Stories of the Revolution in the Perkiomen Region

April 18, 2026–March 27, 2027

Using a “graphic novel” style of artwork, the exhibit presents stories that have been passed down from the Revolution. Historical and anecdotal evidence, along with an interactive device, help visitors weigh fact and fiction. A special-made large map allows adults and children to place the stories in the region. See our Semiquincentennial page for details on accompanying programs, including opening weekend. The exhibit and programs are made possible in part through the support of The Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation of New York and the Institute of Museum & Library Services, (Grant IGSM-257792-OMS-25).

Holidaze

October 24–April 5, 2026

Over the years ,the Heritage Center has acquired a terrific collection of antique and vintage holiday-related objects, so we thought we’d put an exhibit together to show them off. We are going to be celebrating three holidays, all at once—Halloween, Christmas, and Easter. You’ll have a chance to see our fledgling Collegeville Costume collection; our delicate and beautiful antique blown glass Christmas ornaments; our egg-cellent scratch egg collection for Easter.  And of course, much more! 

Hex Signs

EXTENDED UNTIL APRIL 20

Jan 23–April 6, 2026

 Be amazed by the hex signs created by Hunter M. Yoder, a hexologist and folk artist from Berks County. Over two dozen will be on display illustrating what Yoder calls "painted prayers," as these traditional Pennsylvania Dutch barn stars incorporate symbols rooted in pre-Christian Germanic traditions. Yoder’s work incorporates runic inscriptions and plant geometry, drawing inspiration from historical hexologists like Johnny Ott and Lee R. Gandee.
