UPCOMING EVENTS
Every year, the Pittsylvania Historical Society hosts a number of events. The goal here is to bring people face to face with their history, to celebrate proud moments and also bring to light some things people don’t know about. Follow us on Facebook and be sure to check back here, as we’re constantly adding and updating the list of events to come.
