“Round & About with WSHS – History Through Photography”

Wednesday, March 9, 2022

7:00 – 8:00

This presentation will take you on a tour of your own backyard as we discuss the historical significance of the places whose images were captured for the exhibit.  WSHS and WSPC have been visiting & photographing historic and other sites in Hampden, Lower Allen, Lemoyne and Wormleysburg, with group trips to the Sheepford Road Bridge, Peace Church, Rebecca Bitner House, and Basehore Farm.  Individual trips to other sites were also encouraged, from a list of properties provided by WSHS.  A brief introduction to West Shore Historical Society and a summary of what we learned from this project will also be shared.
