  ABRAHAM LINCOLN RETURNS TO THORNBURY TOWNSHIP

AUDITORIUM/GYMNASIUM

 

Thornbury Historical Society is very excited to once again welcome Jim Getty, the world renowned Lincoln Impersonator from historic Gettysburg, PA,  to our Township.

 

 Mr. Getty made an unforgettable appearance two years ago at Sweetwater Farm/Grace Winery as part of the area's Lessons and Legacies commemoration of the U.S. Civil War Sesquicentennial.  THS has invited him back this year to help us all better appreciate the historic implications of the Battle of Gettysburg  (July 1 - 4, 1863) The Gettysburg Address (November 19, 1863) and the Emancipation Proclamation (January, 1864).

 

Many people know Jim Getty as a nationally renowned Lincoln actor, historian and scholar.   For over thirty years, Getty has studied and portrayed the 16th president, and he brings this vast knowledge and expertise to each of his unique leadership sessions.

 

As a way of saying thank you to The Glen Mills Schools for so many years of hosting THS at our annual Pancake Breakfast, we have invited their dedicated staff and their impressive student body to join us.  This is also an outstanding opportunity for our community to visit Glen Mills Schools and its beautiful campus and buildings. It can also provide families with a rare and very special event to experience together.

 

On site parking next to the auditorium is plentiful.
