A link will be sent out to those on our emailing list, as well as posted on the website (link in bio) and on our Facebook page a day prior to the presentation.
From the OYRHS collection, on this day in history...
We found this ad, which seemed fitting for today’s weather forecast, in the collection of the personal papers of Col. Martin Evoy.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt remarked 79 years ago that today is “a date which will live in infamy." The attack by the Japanese on the US naval base at Pearl Harbor formalized the United States’ entry in World War II. Many local men and women answered the call to defend their country and aid in the war effort, both locally and abroad.
Join us virtually tomorrow, November 11, 2020 at 7:30PM for the “A Postcard Tour Through Eastern Montgomery County” OYRHS November lecture. Society President David Rowland will give a postcard tour along the three major byways in Eastern Montgomery County, namely Old York Road, Huntingdon Pike and Easton Road.  The postcards illustrated will highlight many of the sites in the area as they were at the turn of the last century.  From mansions to mills, clubs to churches, schools to stores and hotels to hospitals, this overview tour of the area will be an enjoyable and edifying flight into the past.
