L.A.H.S. Meetings

The program meetings are generally held in the Methodist Hall behind the Church on 50 East King Street in Littlestown. There is parking behind the church and next to the fire company. These meetings are open to the public at no charge. It is hoped that if you attend these programs that you would help support our efforts by becoming a member of the society.

On some occasions the meeting might be held at a different location if the topic is about that particular location. Once in a while the time of month may change due to certain situations. Always Check the schedule for dates and locations.
