The Delco History Blog is now open!

 For those of you who do not know me, I'm Keith Lockhart, a lifelong Delco resident and local historian. This blog is to get people talking about the great attractions and history we have in this county. For starters what do you think are the best history sites and museums in this county and are they used enough and why or why not?
  And of course visit my site delawarecountyhistory.com

  4. Most people do not realize the wealth of history in Delco. I hope this will light a fire and maybe some sparks will fly ...

  5. the pa veteran's museum is tucked into a corner of the trader joe's building in media with a separate side entrance. there is a lot crammed in there. our veteran's deserve more.

  6. This is great! Thank you for your hard work Keith. I agree with Anna, the Veteran's Museum needs more room.
