Shippensburg Ordinary Night

The Shippensburg History Center will be hosting the first ever Ordinary Night. In Colonial times, an ordinary was a licensed establishment that provided food, drink, and lodging for travelers and residents, often serving as a community hub. Ordinaries were crucial for social and political life, and their existence was sometimes mandated by law to support travelers on major routes. Patrons will be able to enjoy two free pours of some beers or wine that closely represents the 1776 time-period. Living history, historical demonstrations, historical music, and historical exhibits will make this a night to remember. In accordance with Pennsylvania state law, our staff are PA RAMP certified.
