I love this historic place! Often, I believe in our "modern" age, we need to go back and take a few pages from how living was in the past, and apply it to today. The world would be a much better place! The Village has lots of history in all those buildings, and to visit during their Christmas events is an especially fun time!
We had a really nice time visiting the village. Barb was a wonderful tour guide and we enjoyed the demos of the printing press. Highly recommend to learn about local history. It was a bit rainy and we were the only visitors there.
I came for the Harvest Festival October 2, 2022. It was fantastic! The tours were wonderful and informative. The demonstrators were enthusiastic and made me feel just as excited about topics I knew little about. The gentleman with the printing presses was absolutely delightful!!! Great event and the entire grounds were amazing!
Always enjoy Christmas in the Village! The volunteers do a great job sharing their knowledge. Old Economy Village is a beautiful treasure here in Beaver County!
If you are a history buff, Old Economy Village is the place four you! Others who would find the Harmonist community fascinating would be students of architecture, as well as arborists, horticulturalists, photographers and artists.
Old Economy offers very entertaining special and seasonal programs such as a "Halloween" haunt hunt, Christmas celebrations with decorations and lighting, and many more.
It is well worth your time and effort. Programs are comparatively inexpensive; as example, the Halloween program costs only $16 per person (money well spent).
Check their website for calendar events, hours of operation and more.
If you're in the area, take a well-deserved break and come away with very special memories. By
