Please join us tonight. It’s the last lecture before the we take a break for the summer. There will also be a short business meeting prior to the lecture where you can here about all the great things we have done over the last year.
Did you happen to be at the lecture last month, when Dr. Alison Kreitzer discussed dirt track automobile racing in the Mid-Atlantic region, specifically at the Longhorne Speedway? Dr. Kreitzer shares with us the early history of racing, it’s popularity in the area, and challenges that drivers and management encountered as the sport developed. The presentation was enhanced with the discussion at the end, when so many in attendance were able to share their own recollections of Langhorne Speedway. Don’t forget our next (& final for the season) presentation is coming up next week. Please join us as Anne Krulikowski talks about “The Golden Age of the American Country Club, 1890-1929.”
We had such a great visit to Stoneleigh yesterday. Thanks to our wonderful guides who shared all the history and stories of the house and gardens with us! #natlands
Appropriate for today... one of our most recent donations. This postcard from 1906, was found amongst the donor’s mother’s possessions. She sent it to us all the way from Australia!
