The second annual “Movie Night at the Museum” will be presented at John Paulding Historical Society at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 15. The public is invited to watch the premiere of “Les Weidenhamer’s Museum Stories.”
A free-will donation will be accepted at the door. Popcorn and drink will be provided.
Black Swamp Arbor, Gleaner Life Insurance is sponsoring the event. All proceeds will go to the historical society.
This year’s presentation is a video shot by Kim Sutton in 2014, when she was historical society vice president and Les Weidenhamer was president. Les was a founder of the historical society and museum and served as president for 22 years before his untimely death in 2017. In this movie, he gives a unique tour of the museum, providing insights about many of the displays and artifacts.
Last year, about 100 people attended the first Movie Night to see the PBS documentary “The Story of the Great Black Swamp.”
The museum is located at 600 Fairground Drive in Paulding. For additional information, check the historical society’s Facebook page at facebook.com/jphsmuseum.
