Program: " When Lincoln's Funeral Train Passed Through Franklin County "
In April 1865 the funeral train carrying the coffin of President Abraham Lincoln passed through Pennsylvania on its way to New York and Cleveland.
Massive numbers of residents watched the train pass their farms, communities and towns. Mr. Mingus will share rare personal diary and journal entries, newsmen's accounts, and overviews of the locomotives, crewmen, railroads used, timetables, and other interesting aspects.
Join us as we follow and explore the events of that tragic time in our nation's history.
Come join us for a free entertaining and educational evening. Refreshments will follow the program.

Connie and Michael, both Board Members of our Historical Society, will present a variety of antiques from their various collections that were indicative of things that were familiar to everyone at some point in time. They are asking the audience to guess what they were named and what they were used for
" back in the day ". This is a fun program that will test your memory and also bring you some new information about things that were once well known and well used.
