The Lynn Museum and Historical Society will host an exhibit featuring 100 years of Camp Fire USA. Camp Fire is a coeducational youth development program with two local Councils that has provided services that assist working families with helping children grow as caring, confident adults and future leaders.
The exhibit will tell the story of how the program began and thrived over many years, through its literature, costumes, artifacts, memorabilia and photographs.
Opening night of the exhibit will be July 14, 5:30 pm and will feature a “What It’s Worth” Appraisal Night with Stuart Whitehurst, appraiser from Skinner Auctions and a favorite on the PBS series, Antiques Roadshow. Up to 50 lucky raffle winners will be invited to bring one item for verbal appraisal (sorry, no jewelry, coins, stamps or musical instruments). Details are available on the website listed below.
Raffle tickets are $25 and include admission to the museum event and appraisal program. General admission tickets for the evening are $10. Tickets may be purchased at the museum, at the Camp Fire office, 2 Cain Road in Salem, MA, or online at www.campfire-ma.org.
