Hellertown Police said in a news release Monday that they are investigating criminal mischief at the Hellertown Historical Society, which occupies several buildings and the surrounding grounds at 150 W. Walnut Street.

Historical society president Stacie Torkos said a heavy picnic bench by the grist mill pond was pushed into the pond, and another was “almost pushed in.”

A goose control LED light that was chained to the windmill next to the pond was thrown up into the windmill and damaged, but fortunately was repairable, she added.

Torkos said the LED light cost $500.
