The Wrightstown Township Historical Commission approved a schedule of five feature programs for the 2026 Octagonal School Open Houses, running May through October. Mary Lee Johnson and Karl Niederer presented a finished poster listing the events: a student artwork exhibition (May 17); Wrightstown Brushstrokes featuring three local artists (June 21); a Pen & Ink penmanship and USA 250th program by calligrapher Robert Hurford (July 19); a Bucks County deed books display with Recorder Robin Robinson (September 20); and a 19th-century music program in October.

Mary Lee said Wrightstown Elementary art teacher Melissa Miguelez will invite students to display art and that the students will be recognized by the Township Board of Supervisors. The minutes record that Robert Hurford "agreed to meet Betty and Mary Lee at the Octagonal School later this month to review space and set-up options" and that he will present talks and demonstrations every half-hour during the Open House.
