Along the way\, Schubert will reveal how transportation\, waterpower\, manufacturing\, education\, and commerce transformed a small Pennsylvania community. \n\n\n\nThis is more than a tour of historic buildings. It is the story of the people who built Elizabethtown: farmers who brought their goods to market\, workers who powered its mills and factories\, travelers who arrived by rail\, merchants who filled its storefronts\, and families whose homes and neighborhoods still define the borough today. \n\n\n\nCirca 1915\n\n\n\nWhat You’ll Discover\n\n\n\nOn this engaging walk\, you’ll explore: \n\n\n\n\nHow the arrival of the railroad connected Elizabethtown to the wider world and helped reshape the community.\n\n\n\nThe mills\, factories\, and manufacturing businesses that provided jobs for generations of local residents.\n\n\n\nHow streams\, ponds\, and waterpower supported some of the town’s earliest industries.\n\n\n\nThe development of Elizabethtown College and its influence on the surrounding community.\n\n\n\nWhat historic homes reveal about the people behind the town’s businesses and institutions.\n\n\n\nHow Main Street became the commercial and social center of Elizabethtown.\n\n\n\nThe surprising ways residents made a living before modern conveniences\, including the once-important winter industry of ice harvesting.\n\n\n\nWhat has changed throughout Elizabethtown and what has remained remarkably familiar.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSchubert brings a unique combination of local knowledge\, historical research\, and genealogical investigation to the tour. A graduate of Elizabethtown College and Millersville University\, he has researched and shared overlooked stories from throughout Lancaster County. \n\n\n\nHe is also an internationally recognized genealogist and forensic genetic genealogist whose work has contributed to family reunifications and the resolution of long-unsolved criminal cases. His research has been featured by Good Morning America\, People\, The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, and other national media outlets. \n\n\n\nEric Schubert working at his computer.\n\n\n\nSchubert serves on the board and executive committee of the Historic Preservation Trust of Lancaster County and was selected as a Next-Gen Leader by the White House Historical Association.
