March Historical Happenings

It's all about food next week in Delco History. The Colonial Plantation in Ridley Creek State park is having a Beef and Beer fundraiser and the Plank House in Marcus Hook is having a spaghetti diiner to raise money. Other things are coming up later this month. In may the Glenolden Historical Society will be running a trolley tour of the town that promises to be fun. More about that later.

We are going to train these calves to work as an oxen team. We hope to purchase chickens, geese and turkeys as well. A red Devon milking cow is also in the plans for the near future. The event will take place at the main ballroom of the Jeffords mansion in Ridley Creek
State Park. There will be music, dancing, food and liquid refreshment. Dinner will be
served at 7 followed by an Irish sing along. Beer will be provided by "Box Car Brewery"
