The Hagen History welcomed families in for their Second Annual Family History Day.

People could enjoy free admission while learning more about their family history.

All afternoon, people could enjoy free admission while learning more about their family history. Several regional historical societies and organizations were on hand to help visitors with family questionnaires, learning how to clean their family gravestones, finding civil war and military records and learn about DNA testing.

Organizers said this was a great event to teach people more about their ancestry in a stop shop.

The Hagen History Center also debuted new exhibits including their History on Tap, a look at Erie's Brewing Culture, Teamwork, which showcases Erie's sports teams and City Lights which is all about stained glass in city hall.
