I am mostly interested in the years from about 1860 to about 1900. I know that seems to be alot to ask, but I thought there might be a McConnellstown historian out there that just might know. Also about the placque that is located in the parking lot up along the street by the house of the same lot. Thank you for your help.

As I enter McConnellstown from the south (I live in Bedford) the first thing I see on my left is the large Bouquet Spring, named after Beneral Bouquet, a Swiss, who was instrumental in building what is now route 30 from Bedford to Pittsburgh. That was done in the 1750s. Behind it to the left is a very large stone house which was build by my great great great grandfather, Patrick Lang in 1828. He was a tanner and evidently used the water of the creek for his operation.
