The Lehigh Township Historical Society holds a basket social fundraiser annually where themed gift baskets, premium items valued over $50, gift cards and certificates and other items, are raffled off.  Sheets of tickets are sold at the door and the tickets are used as a chance towards items of choice.  A random winner is chosen from the tickets in a container for each item.  A true 50/50 drawing is also held during the event as well as a drawing for a door prize sponsored by a local business.  The event runs for 3-1/2 hours prior to drawing time. Food and beverages as well as baked goods are sold during the basket social. Proceeds from the fundraiser are used to operate and maintain our Historical Centre Museum and the fully restored St. Paul's One-Room Schoolhouse that was built in 1865, both of which are open to the public for visitation on various dates throughout the year.

Donations of store and restaurant gift cards or certificates, cash, admission tickets to local attractions, handmade items and other products are welcome donations.  The more appealing the items offered, the more tickets are sold which helps our fundraising efforts. Because we are a non-profit organization we are largely dependent on donations and fundraising for our historical museum operations.
