Colonial Plantation Winners

  

The Shady Grove Bridge in Edgmont on Delchester Rd. about 1920. I will soon be adding a new section on Delaware County covered bridges.

 

The Delco Times Newspaper was nice enough to give me a full page in Tuesdays paper about my history work and website. I have had a lot of new visitors to my sight, delawarecountyhistory.com if you have never been there take a look, it's worth the time.

Congrats to our Winners!

The contest for naming our 3rd born lamb of 2013 has officially ended and we have a winner...  

Congrats to Laura Hopper for being chosen for the name Cardigan!

 

And SURPRISE - We also have a second winner!  Our (now) newest lamb, pictured below, was born on May 30th to Lilly (Mom) and Ludicris (Dad) and so we picked a second name for this little lady. 

Congrats to Jessica Doty Figliolini for being chosen for the name Marble!
