November 21: History and Legends of Drumore Township

Drumore Township’s story is one of resilience, innovation, and mystery. In this special Quarryville Library program, I will trace the township’s participation in the Underground Railroad, spotlight its unique contributions to farming with inventions like the Drumore Sickle, highlight landmarks such as Lancaster County’s oldest tombstone, and answer the question of why it’s called the Buck, and not just Buck.

From sacred stones to industrial might, Drumore’s past is layered with meaning. The evening will also explore the folklore that lingers in its fields and streams—ghost stories passed down for generations alongside strange encounters, including a recent albatwitch sighting near Fishing Creek in 2024.

This program blends careful research with engaging storytelling, making the past both accessible and exciting. Adults and older teens are especially welcome for this evening of local history with a supernatural twist.

This in-person program is free and open to the public, but registration is required. Walk-ins will be accommodated as space permits. Please register every person in your group through the library’s website or call 717.786.1336. Click here to register.
