New Holland Historical Society offers monthly educational programs at Garden Spot Village.

Brett Snyder, a local historian, will share the life story of H. Clifton Thorbahn. Brett says, “I’m working to revive interest in H. Clifton Thorbahn’s importance to Lancaster County, based on his own scrapbook – as a Jazz music pioneer, writer, historian, teacher, editor, publisher, and tourism promoter.” Brett’s presentation will include stories from Thorbahn’s life including his involvement in promoting local jazz and vaudeville shows in the 1920s, writing, directing and producing radio specials for WGAL in the 1930s, writing for the Lancaster Sunday News from 1925-1935 and working with the Fulton Theatre as well as early Lancaster movie and vaudeville theaters.
