IN THE BUSINESS OF TOURISM? THESE WORKSHOPS MAY BE FOR YOU Are you interested in Heritage Tourism? It's a special segment of the tourism industry that entertains and enlightens millions of visitors to Pennsylvania each year. If you are in an agency or business that relies on Heritage Tourism, plan to attend one of a series of workshops that will help to shape the future of the Heritage Tourism industry. You can share concerns and contribute ideas in one or more of four workshops around the state. Please join representatives from the Center for Rural Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, the Department of Community and Economic Development, the Pennsylvania Tourism and Lodging Association, the Pennsylvania Heritage Parks Association, and Westsylvania Heritage Corporation for a three-hour workshop to strategize how heritage tourism interests can shape the future and obtain the resources the industry requires to fulfill its promise. The workshop will address such issues as funding, product development, marketing, state agency roles, regional initiatives, and others you suggest. Your participation and your time are valued. All four workshop sessions will be identical, so attend the one that is most convenient. If you know other people who should attend a workshop, please pass along the URL shown below. September 5, 2002 - Mayfield, Pa. September 6, 2002 - Valley Forge, Pa. September 9, 2002 - Titusville, Pa. September 10, 2002 - Greensburg, Pa.

County and municipal officials and administrative staff who are responsible for designing a records disaster plan or overseeing the preservation and safeguarding of vital records will find the workshop valuable.

WHEN AUTUMN LEAVES START TO FALL It's time to plan to join Friends of The State Museum for a tour of the Commonwealth's autumnal splendor. Travel to Pennsylvania's northern tier, coupled with a visit to the Pennsylvania Lumber Museum and Pennsylvania's Grand Canyon. Dr. Walter Meshaka, senior curator of zoology and botany and Dr. Betty Ferster, entomologist and scholar in residence, will provide special insight along the way. A comfortable modern motor coach leaves the Harrisburg East Mall on Paxton Street at 6:30 a.m. and approximately 6:45 a.m. from Capitol City Mall. The tour begins with arrival at the Pennsylvania Lumber Museum, Galeton, Potter County, which preserves and interprets the colorful heritage of the Commonwealth's prosperous lumber era, when white pine and hemlock were the wealth of the nation. The Lumber Museum provides a "Lumbermen Gallery" in the Visitor Center. The Engine House holds a 70-ton Shay locomotive that was actually used in logging operations, and the Museum's campus provides a grand overview of logging and sawmill operations. Dr. Meshaka and Dr. Ernst have volunteered as guides on the nature trail there. In addition to all the wonders of the museum and its marvelous gift shop, several dozen antique vendors will offer collectibles for sale, along with wonderful food to delight the senses. Lunch is on your own. Choose from the variety of offerings at the museum. The next stop is Wellsboro, the home of Pennsylvania's Grand Canyon. Hop aboard the Tioga Central Railroad for a scenic train trip. The journey begins at Marsh Creek Watershed and runs along the shore of Hammond Lake, where one can enjoy nature's wonders. Be sure to bring your camera! Leaving Wellsboro, take a relaxing ride through the picturesque countryside to a quaint country restaurant for dinner. Finish the day with a tour and tasting at Shade Mountain Vineyards and Winery, housed in a converted 19th century barn. What a lovely end to a wonderful day. The cost is $75.00 for Friends members and $80.00 for non-members. For more information and to register, phone the Friends office at (717) 787-6590.

I know I'm not losing my mind, at least not today! I went to the Butler Co. Website - http://www.rootsweb.com/~pabutler/ - but can't find the Bible records or any of the other records that people have transcribed. Are there two Butler County Websites? Rebecca OkRnRamsey@aol.com

If you go to the Beaver County USGS map index and click on Franklin Township, you can see Camp Run Cemetery in the upper right corner, near the Butler County line. http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/maps/pa/county/beaver/usgs/ Ed McClelland, Alexandria, Virginia.

Camp Run is near Fombell and also in Franklin Township, Beaver County. When my mother was living she guided me there through all the back country roads going from Portersville, PA therefore I cannot give you directions. When trying to find names in the census for Camp Run look under Franklin Township. Hope this is of some help. Marilyn

Hi, I don't know if this is helpful, but MapQuest shows Camp Run as being near Fombell, which isn't far from Zelienople. What Smiths and Glenns are you researching? Are they the ones descended Anne (Campbell) Glenn? G.

Does anyone have any information these two: I have just run across John Hindman b 10/2/1807 d 3/20/1878 buried in Grove Cemetery, New Brighton with wife (assume) beside him, Eleanor Hindman d poss Jan 5, 1884 (88 yrs) so she would be born 1796. These two are buried beside John A McGown. Iris

Taken from the AMERICAN-REVOLUTION-D Digest V02 #25. Looks like a very good site. Marybeth C. ============= << Subject: [A-REV] Early maps This site has some early maps that someone might be able to use. http://www.dean.usma.edu/history/dhistorymaps/Atlas%20Page.htm >>

Hi, Using Map Quest <http://www.mapquest.com/> and searching for "Camp Run, PA" turned up 13 maps. I didn't look at any of them in detail. However one thumbnail showed it west of Zenenople. Good luck, Howard A (Sutton, Parker) Topp Christi Timm wrote: > Friends, > > Can anyone tell me where Camp Run, Pa. is/was and what county it was in?

Friends, Can anyone tell me where Camp Run, Pa. is/was and what county it was in? It is significant to my family history, but I can't seem to find record of it anywhere. It may have been in Beaver or Butler County. families: Aiken, Smith, Glenn Christi

Christi, Try Westmoreland County. I remember there was a Camp Run School there some where. Maybe someone on that web page could help.

Yes, Don, it fits what I have, but you have given me more. Thank you. Do you by any chance have sources for your info? I just have the DAR record on John Brandon and the census from 1880 Jefferson, Butler Co., PA. Sylvia

Actually, I can see where they may want and need some space to discuss our comments. It is hard to feel free to do so when we are there. I know their meetings are open, but also know from having served on boards that when you know you have problems you would rather work them out in private. The public information law makes that hard. I would vote to allow them some space and discuss after the meeting how things went. This may give us some stature with them as reasonable people who want to cooperate. Just my thoughts. -----Original Message----- From: PABUTLER-D-request@rootsweb.com <PABUTLER-D-request@rootsweb.com> To: PABUTLER-D@rootsweb.com <PABUTLER-D@rootsweb.com> Date: Tuesday, March 05, 2002 12:13 PM Subject: PABUTLER-D Digest V02 #68
