The Newcomerstown Historical Society is offering free tours of their two museums, the Temperance Tavern and the Olde Main Street Museum and Social Center at 213 and 221 W. Main St., Newcomerstown. The Historical Society is promoting the tours as a way for patrons to Get to know your Museum.
Folks are encouraged to bring a friend and enjoy the local history exhibits ranging from Cy Young and Woody Hayes to the Lenape (Delaware Chief) Netawatees and noted Band Director, Manuel Yingling. These are only a few of the notable local historical Characters recalling the history of Newcomerstown.

A feud is brewing at ARTSNCT
First, there was the Montagues vs.
the Capulets and then the Hatfields vs. the McCoys. Now there is another feud brewing of epic proportions.
Newcomerstown’s Victory Canteen Singers have challenged Little Theatre Original Productions to The FEUD at ARTSNCT, Arts Center of Newcomerstown.
The 40’s-style singing group is scheduled to battle the acting troupe that has recently spent a lot of time visiting a log cabin replica that Abe Lincoln may or may not have lived in. That may sound a little strange, but it pales to compare to the challenging and embarrassing acts all these performers will have to endure to win the ga.m.e.
The FEUD is presented on the third Wednesday of each month at ARTSNCT. The shows are creatively tailored to each tea.m.. Players must be prepared to use all knowledge, skills, and talents that can be harnessed during the ga.m.e.
It is always a fun-filled night packed with lots of surprises for the whole fa.m.ily. Audience participation kicks the excitement up another notch or two.
The FEUD will happen at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 21, at ARTSNCT. Admission is free and open to the public.
Other feuds on the horizon: Tri-County a.m.bulance Services vs. Accident Prone, Wednesday, September 18.
On November 20, the Newcomerstown Music Boosters are divided and will duke it out musically, of course. No tea.m.s have been booked for October 16 at this time. Contact ARTSNCT if you may be interested in playing.
ARTSNCT, Arts Center of Newcomerstown is located at 304 S. College St., Newcomerstown. 740-575-5710. www.artsNCT.org
