Celebrating 50 Years of the Lindley House Museum
July 2024
A large crowd was in attendance for the July 27th 50th Anniversary Celebration of the Historic Lindley House Museum in Paoli. Attendees were treated to guided tours of the historic farmhouse, refreshments, musical entertainment by the Lick Creek Bank, and heritage type displays. A sizeable number of Lindley/Thompson family members from the area and out of state as well were also on hand to mark the occasion.
The Lindley House was gifted to the Orange County Historical Society in 1974 by the late Carl H. and Dorothy Thompson. Shown below is Sharon Thompson Parys (oldest granddaughter of Carl and Dorothy) presenting to OC Historical Society President Robert F. Henderson for the home’s historic collection, Johnathan Lindley’s original 1812 land grant for the land/farm, signed by President Madison.
