Join me with fellow history lovers for an outdoor evening of food and friendship at @sickmansmill with @lancohistory for their annual Summertime Picnic on Thursday, June 8, 2023, from 5:30 to 8:30 pm.

Penn Manor named an elementary school after Ann Letort. But how much do you know about the frontier fur trader and her adventurous, rugged family? Here's a brief excerpt from Don Kautz's article. Click the bio link in the profile to read it in its entirety.

In preparation for Harrison Ford's last outing as the Man in the Hat in the upcoming Dial of Destiny movie opening on June 30, 2023, I have compiled a list of Indiana Jonesesque places you can visit in the Susquehanna Valley. So coil your bullwhip and grab your fedora because X marks the spot for local adventure! Here is one suggestion to get you started. Click the bio link in the profile to read all of them.

If you think emojis are a fad, think again. This 😐 neutral face carved rock unearthed on Piney Island, Lancaster County, is believed to be between 2,700 to 4,300 years old. It is the oldest known representation of a human face found in the Commonwealth. Click the bio link in the profile to read more and see its location.

It's Memorial Day. Soldiers and Sailors Monument in Penn Square was originally built to honor Lancastrian Union soldiers killed during the Civil War. Today, it represents those that served in all American military conflicts. Click the bio link in the profile to learn more.

If you are interested in seeing the petroglyphs but not up for braving the rapids below Safe Harbor check out the four on display at the Conestoga Area Historical Society. They are currently open every Saturday and Sunday from 1 and 4 pm.
