Volunteers reopen Old Economy Village after a five-month hiatus: "The Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission closed Old Economy in November due to a $15.7 million cut in the commission's budget in the wake of the state's budget crisis. At the time, the village was hosting 25,000 visitors a year, including 9,000 school students.
Under a new licensing agreement the friends group reached with the commission, the 300-member group of volunteers will take over conducting tours of the community's buildings, staff the six-acre site on weekends and answer visitors' questions."
