The outside of York, Pa.’s, Quaker Meeting House hasn’t change much since this photo was taken in the 1890s. The East Philadelphia Street building still invites a visit, 244 years after its eastern part was constructed. The west room dates to 1783. This photo comes from “Art Work of York,” W.H. Parish Publishing Co. The view<\/a> of the building’s inside is equally engaging. Also of interest: Quaker horticulturalist Jonathan Jessop was 19th-century York County Renaissance man<\/a> and Society of Friends Gladys Rawlins, ‘Black History Profiles’<\/a> and Intrepid Adams researcher: ‘The buildings weren’t the Underground Railroad; the people were’<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A mixed bag of neat stuff … .
\nThe Exchange, the York Daily Record\/Sunday News bulletin board, tipped off York Town Square to a long-ago article in Time magazine about York County, Pa.’s defense industry buildup well before Pearl Harbor.
\nAs usual from media parachuting into York, the writer came up with a descriptive term for the city.
\nHere’s how that article began: … .<\/p>\n


\nMANUFACTURING: War News<\/a>. The Dec. 11, 1939, article begins: “Last week the little red-brick city of York, Pa. (pop. 55,254) tingled with anticipation of Christmas.” For other names attributed to York over the years visit: York, Pa.: No ‘rustbelt town on the banks of the Susquehanna’<\/a>.
\n– Recommended upcoming event<\/strong>: What would you do if the machines filling the Agricultural & Industrial Museum<\/a> suddenly roared to life and began sharing their stories as you strolled through the galleries? A York County Heritage Trust <\/a>news release poses that questions and then gives details about such an opportunity: Daylong “If Machines Could Talk” event, at 10 a.m., Saturday, May 22.
\n– Blog post of the week<\/strong>: Yorkblogger Scott Mingus has studied the damages wrote by invading Confederations in 1863. Visit Cannonball<\/a> blog’s : York County Civil War Border Claims Database now on-line at YCHT<\/a>.
\n– Forum post of the week, The Exchange<\/strong>: For a handlebar tour of York County’s rail trails, visit: Railtrailing <\/a>(all 410 posts on that popular topic.)
