3rd Annual "On the Trail of Perry County History" hosted by The Perry Historians on Saturday, March 26, 2011. There was such a great interest shown by our "tour-goers" last year, as we toured the path of the Newport and Shermans Valley Railroad, that fellow members Harry Focht and Steve Metzger agreed to do research on and map out the route of the Perry County Railroad... which, during the same time, was in great competition with the Newport and Shermans Valley Railroad to cross Perry County. Our newest On the Trail of Perry County History Tour will follow the Perry County Railroad route from its beginning in Duncannon to its end in Landisburg. We will also be investigating several other places of historic interest, including the Millerstown area in conjunction with our African American History project which fellow member and volunteer, Janet Taylor is diligently working on. We'll be gathering at the East Parking Lot at Little Buffalo State Park (near Shoaff's Mill and the dam area) by no later than 7:45 a.m.. Bus pulls out at 8:00 a.m. sharp! All persons must be aboard a bus - NO Cars! Lunch will be served by the New Bloomfield Lutheran Church and will consist of baked chicken breast and scalloped potatoes, dessert and beverage. Deadline for reservations in March 3, 2011. Seating is limited to 47 persons and will be filled on a first-come first-served basis. Wear comfortable shoes - as there may be some walking. Cost for the trip - which includes the meal is $30.00 per person. Payment must be made in the form of a check.
