Presented by Richard Louis “Chip” Schuster, Ed.D. This program is an overview of the many issues to consider, and resources used in producing the recently published book, Growing Up In Stevensville. The author describes his personal pathway to the completion of the book, decisions on content, the emotions of historical discovery, and why these journeys into the lives of people who made local history are worth doing.
Organized by David Lenington. Our popular tour of historical and architecturally significant buildings in Bradford County returns and this year is being offered as part of our Friday Night at the Museum series, except this event will be held on Saturday. A BCHS membership is required to participate in the tour. This year we focus on LeRoy and Canton with visits to two churches, a former hotel, and two large homes. Ted Strosser, AIA, will provide architectural history while others will provide historical background and musical performance. Lunch will be provided. Members will receive details on how to register for the event. Become a member today!
Presented by Mark Lloyd. Don't be misled by the famous phrase in the title of this presentation! Join University Archivist Emeritus and American historian Mark Lloyd for an audience-centered discussion of the history and progression of the quality of life in Bradford County and go home with a rich appreciation of change over time for the better. Come prepared to ask your own questions, to offer your own ideas, and to reflect on where they fit in a broad assessment of calling Bradford County home, then and now.
Presented by Matthew Carl, BCHS Executive Director. One hundred people witnessed an attorney murder a man during the day in front of the post office in Raleigh, North Carolina, in 1903. If that isn’t strange enough, after a trial, the jury found the murderer NOT guilty. This event was the result of a love affair of sorts, but the story is not what you think. The woman, who was the reason for the murder, and her young child, came to Bradford County, Pennsylvania, to live in seclusion near Canton – and this is just the beginning of the story.
