December Happenings

There are no more happenings in Delaware County Historical circles till after the New Year. I want to wish everyone a Happy Holiday Season. I will be speaking in Springfield and Middletown Townships next month but more about that next year. If you have never visited my site delawarecountyhistory.com, this cold weather is the perfect time to take a look. Even if you hate history, as many do, there are over 200 maps and pictures to look at for every community in Delco. Maps are from the 1870's thru the 1940's. So when you are inside watching reruns take a look. You might be surprised how interesting local history can be.
