Join Bob Wood on Sunday, April 14 from 1:00-2:00 p.m. for another of his popular history talks providing insight into the area's culture and way of life.
April 14: Translations from the 1794-1804 Business Accounts of Johannes Markley, Blacksmith—A Primary Source about Life in Late 18th Century New Hanover.
The pages give an unquestionable record of who’s-who in the Fagleysville area in 1794 and the goods they purchased. If someone needed such things as apple trees, lime, indigo, shoe leather, mill parts, axes and all manner of blacksmith work—Johannes Markley was the man to see.
where will this event take place?
Sunny, with a high of 81 and low of 60 degrees. Sunny in the morning, clear overnight.
Kudos to Zack! In these troubled times, the world could use many more people like him. And kudos to Boyertown for providing the kind of atmosphere where Zack (and others like him) can grove and thrive. Finally, is the book mentioned still available? I'd like to buy one as I remember all of the people mentioned.
Yes, Mark. The books are available at Studio B Art Gallery and the Building a Better Boyertown office.
