EVENT POSTPONED! Please read full caption.

🚗🌧️ RAIN, RAIN GO AWAY! Unfortunately, Sunday’s Car & Motorcycle Show will have to wait for another day.

With rain in the forecast, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the CLA Car & Motorcycle Show scheduled for tomorrow, Sunday, August 16.

We know our car and motorcycle enthusiasts put a lot of time and care into their vehicles—and rainy weather just isn’t the kind of show day we were hoping for!

The good news: We ARE working to reschedule! 🎉

Our committee is currently coordinating with The Wing Nutz, our vendors, and event partners to find a new date. We’ll announce the rescheduled date as soon as everything is confirmed.

📣 PLEASE STAY TUNED & HELP US SPREAD THE WORD!
Share this post with anyone who was planning to attend or bring a vehicle tomorrow.

A huge thank you to our participants, sponsors, food trucks, volunteers and everyone who has been helping us prepare. We appreciate your flexibility and look forward to filling Cumberland Street with cars, trucks and motorcycles on a much drier day! 🚗🏍️☀️

New date coming soon!

📜 History Happens Here – Alden Villa

Tucked into the hills of Cornwall, Alden Villa (also known as Millwood) is one of Lebanon County’s most remarkable historic homes. Built in 1881 as a wedding gift for Robert Percy Alden and Mary Ida Warren, the mansion reflects the elegance of the Gilded Age and the legacy of the prominent Coleman family.

Designed by renowned architect Stanford White, Alden Villa - Millwood Mansion blends Queen Anne, Shingle Style, and English Tudor Revival influences into a timeless hilltop estate. From its intricate woodwork to its grand exterior details, the home remains a striking example of craftsmanship and architectural beauty.

Over the years, the property has seen many chapters, from a private family retreat to an educational center and resort for union workers. After decades of vacancy and deterioration, Alden Villa is now being carefully restored, bringing new life to one of Cornwall’s most treasured landmarks.

Today, Alden Villa stands as a beautiful reminder of Lebanon County’s rich history, architectural artistry, and the power of preservation. The mansion is also available as an exclusive rental venue, offering a one-of-a-kind setting where classic beauty meets modern recreation. Linger over a morning coffee of afternoon pick-me-up at Alden Press Coffee Shop on the premises. Or pop in for a beverage in the evening and enjoy the sunset.
