Looking for something free to do this Sunday?
Thanks to a grant from The Jack Buncher Foundation, admission to Old Economy is free on Sundays in 2016 during the Village’s Centennial Year. On Sunday, July 31st, the site will also be giving away free ice cream Sundaes in the Lenz House – limit one per visitor – from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m..
While you’re exploring the site you will have the opportunity to hunt for Pokémon as well. There are several Pokestops and two Gyms at Old Economy, thanks to the Pokémon programmers. We will be dropping lures around the Village so you will want to tour the entire site to capture as many Pokémon as you can. Then to help you beat the heat we will be serving free ice cream sundaes in the air conditioned Lenz House.
So come on out on Sunday, July 31st from Noon until 5:00 p.m. for a day of free exploration and treats. Ice cream sundaes will be served from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

It is part of Ambridge’s Economy National Historic Landmark, and is among the region’s most important historic sites.

Pokémon Go For a Reason
James Elwick shared on Facebook " I'm arranging a Pokéwalk/cleanup around Ambridge." Adding " If you're into this craze like I am and are passionate about having a nice, clean, respectable city come out with us and have some fun catching some pocket monsters!"
