Help Document Life During COVID-19

Shippen Manor, like all of our county museums, is closed to the public right now, but the cultural and heritage folks there are conducting a project to document how COVID-19 is impacting the people of Warren County. Now through May 15 they are collecting photographs taken within Warren County to show how people are dealing with the pandemic while at home. Send photos about how you and your family are keeping busy during this time, such as chalk drawings in your driveway, making masks at home, pictures of you in masks, empty parking lots, etc. A photo collage will be shared on Facebook and their website, www.warrenparks.com/wcchc, and will be used to document the stories of our residents. Please include your name, town, and a description of your photograph. Find details include how to submit your photos here.
