Saturday, January 2nd, 2010: The castle is now closed for the season and will reopen on or about Easter weekend 2010, the official date based on the annual castle schedule, to be approved during upcoming Historical Society winter meetings.
The castle board of directors, its members, the Brownsville Historical Society, and the many volunteers who make it all work so smoothly throughout the year, wish to thank the Brownsville community in general and our list of worldwide guests for their generous support and look forward to seeing all of you during the many upcoming scheduled events to be held on castle grounds in 2010.
The Brownsville Historical Society held its annual 2009 Christmas Dinner Party and Election inside historic Nemacolin Castle on Tuesday, November 24th. The buffet table was a dream for any fan of home cooking: deviled eggs, finger foods, meatballs, cheese and meat trays, pies, cookies, sandwiches, and a multitude of other goodies kept most of our beloved society members pickin' for hours. Two punch bowls kept everyone in the proper mood to cast their votes for society board member positions. Check out these photos of the dinner party. If you've been wondering what the benefits of becoming a society member are, these delicious pictures just might get you motivated to join.
While the castle is closed for the season, tours for groups of 20+ can be arranged year round by contacting the castle at 724-785-6882 and asking for the tour coordinator.
The Brownsville Historical Society operates historic Nemacolin Castle on Front St. in Brownsville, Pa. Come and visit us! Step back in time to America's frontier period, the trading post era of 1789, to the Colonial era of 1814, and to the Victorian era of 1850.
Brownsville, PA has the distinct honor of listing two districts in the National Register of Historic Places: the downtown Brownsville Historic District and Brownsville's Northside Historic District. This area includes 315 unique structures inside a two square mile are. Within this boundary, four sites have National Register of Historic Places registration: Nemacolin Castle, the Historic Church of St. Peters, the Dunlap Creek Bridge, and the Intercounty Bridge.
Located just off U.S. Route 40 (locally called Market St.) in Brownsville, PA, Nemacolin Castle is also a registered Pennsylvania historic landmark. Tours of the castle interior and its spacious grounds are provided by an enthusiastic group of volunteers throughout the year (see schedule page).
The castle is always looking for volunteers (both young and old) interested in preserving Brownsville's living history. If you would like to join this elite group who are the caretakers of your past, become a member of the Brownsville Historical Society. Fill out an application today.
