Join native villager Richard Adams as he unveils the role played by his small Berks County village along the ancient Tulpehocken Trail. Based upon his book, In the Village: A History and Memoir of the Pennsylvania Dutch Community of St. Lawrence, Adams shares how the Rhine Valley German immigrant families who settled in the western wilderness of old Philadelphia County adapted to the circumstances and found religious liberty and land of their own, becoming farmers and innovators, building roads, businesses and local institutions. This lecture is free thanks to the support of the Friends Local History Lecture Fund. In-person only.
