At this time, we have the following programs scheduled:
Sunday, April 25th Gettysburg Campaign to the Susquehanna River This first
program for 2010 will start at 3:00 pm. The quest speaker will be Stephen Runkle,
Volunteer for the Speaker’s Bureau, Susquehanna River Basin Commission. The
presentation covers the June 1863 Confederate Campaign (Invasion) into
Pennsylvania prior to the Battle of Gettysburg.
Sunday, May 30th 2:00 pm Show and Tell Please bring a few items to this
program and share with others any special information related to the items. This type
of program is always informative and a lot of fun. The foundation will also exhibit a
few of its most recent acquisitions.
Sunday, June 27th 2:00 pm Antique Glass Paperweights The guest speaker
for this program will be James Lefever. Mr. Lefever will exhibit some fine early glass
paper weights and he will present many details concerning their creation.
Sunday, July 25th 2:00 pm An American Architectural Pioneer
This program will cover the history of work created by America’s most famous
architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. Foundation member, Daniel Snyder, has studied the
work of Wright throughout his life and will include in his discussion images of the
unique and revolutionary ideas that remain popular in today’s homes.
Sunday, Sept. 26th Native American Life in the Susquehanna River Basin
Region This program, like the April program, will start at 3:00 pm. The quest
speaker will again be Stephen Runkle. This presentation gives an overview of Native
Americans and their life in the Susquehanna River Basin Region during the 17th and
18th Centuries.
Sunday, Oct. 31st 2:00 pm The Conestoga Massacres of 1763 This program
will be based on the new book soon to be published by Jack Brubaker who many
know a the “Scribbler” of the Lancaster Newspapers. Mr. Brubaker has devoted a
great deal of research to fact and fiction concerning the massacres and his program
to HMPF will include information related to the two Conestogas who were hidden for
life on a farm just outside Manheim. The program will prove to be another very
enlightening and entertaining program and will be a great follow-up to the September
program by Stephen Runkle.
