Christmas Parade
On Saturday, December 6th the Carnegie Library of Homestead
participated in the Steel Valley Holiday Parade!
It was the first snow of the year, how perfect for a Holiday Parade!
We enjoyed waving to all the people, and handing out Curious George Visits the Library
to the about 150 youngsters!
A special thanks to our Board President, Dan Lloyd for creating the float and
donating to the event!
Abby, Amanda, Heather, Emily, Rachel and Victoria were also
on hand to wave and walk with the float.

Local History

The area where the town is located has a rich history. The ruins of Ancient Greek colonies
reflect how life was here many centuries ago. All of the ruins are united under the National Historical-Archaeological Park “Kalos-Limen”. This park attracts many tourists who would like
to learn more about the life and culture of the ancient Greeks in the colonies. Visitors can do
this through tours which explore the architecture, traditions and rituals of the people who once
lived there. During archaeological digs scientists have discovered about six thousand artifacts which are now on display in the Local History Museum.
