SUMMARY:South Central Pa. Genealogical Society
DESCRIPTION:The Old Order River Brethren – Still on the Quest for Piety and Obedience!\, presented by John S. Dietz. \nSunday\, November 1\, 2026\, 2:30 p.m.  Registration coming soon. \nOnce nicknamed “Yorkers” owing to their mid-nineteenth-century origin and early concentration in York County\, the Old Order River Brethren began as a conservative movement among the River Brethren (now Brethren in Christ). Usually counted among the Plain People of Pennsylvania\, the Old Order River Brethren continue the historic practices of plain dress\, baptism by immersion\, congregational signing without instruments\, and worship in homes and barns. A member of this group\, John Dietz will discuss their history\, beliefs and practices. \nJohn S. Dietz is a member of the Old Order River Brethren\, Lancaster District South\, and he works to preserve the history of his church. With a background in education\, he currently teaches parttime at Sonlight River Brethren School in Lancaster County.  On the side\, he engaged in organic farming\, and his family has a farm stand just off the Lincoln Highway between Hallam and Wrightsville at 141 Stricklers Lane. \n  \nUpcoming Programs \nGive Me Liberty or Give Me Lunch!: A Culinary Exploration of the Revolutionary War Period\, presented by Lydia Stayer. \nSunday\, January 3\, 2027\, 2:30 p.m. \nThe culinary scene during the Revolutionary War was a time of blending European traditions\, native agricultural staples\, and improvisation due to supply shortages. “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Lunch!” will provide attendees with the opportunity to explore the ingredients\, cooking preparations\, as well as dishes and beverages that were common during this period in history. Following the presentation\, savory dishes and sweet treats will be available for sampling. \nLydia Stayer is a special education teacher in York County and holds teaching certifications in Elementary Education\, Special Education\, and Family and Consumer Science Education. When she is not fulfilling her teaching duties\, she enjoys expanding her culinary knowledge through reading cookbooks and trying her hand at new recipes. \n  \n“We Find No Freedom … in Anything by Which Men’s Lives are Destroyed or Hurt”: Pennsylvania Mennonites and the American Revolution\, presented by Steve Nolt. \nSunday\, February 7\, 2027\, 2:30 p.m. \nThe American Revolution brought ideas and question about liberty to the fore\, and many people made sacrifices for what they believed to be the cause of freedom. But not everyone understood liberty and freedom in the same way. Mennonites were among those who appreciated the freedom they had found in Pennsylvania but were unwilling to sacrifice what they believed was Christ’s call to live peaceably with all. Their convictions placed them in a difficult and unpopular position during the Revolution. They sought to explain their beliefs in letters and petitions\, but ended up losing many of their political rights when they would neither fight nor swear loyalty to the new state government after 1776. Their experience is an example of the tension between majority rule and minority rights\, and of competing notions of loyalty\, liberty\, and religious conviction. This presentation will focus on Mennonites\, but the experience of other Pennsylvania peace churches\, from Quakers and Moravians to Brethren and Schwenkfelders\, will necessarily surface\, as well. \nSteve Nolt is the Director of the Young Center for Anabaptist and Pietist Studies at Elizabethtown College. He is the author of numerous books and articles on Mennonite\, Amish\, and broader Pennsylvania German history and contemporary life. Local and national media frequently call upon him to provide expert insight into the history\, life and practices of the Amish. \n  \nRevolutionary Roots – our annual show-and-tell meeting \nSunday\, March 7\, 2027\, 2:30 p.m. \nThis meeting will be our annual opportunity to share information about ancestors\, research or sources and to ask questions for the group to consider. In keeping with the 250th anniversary of our country’s founding\, we would like you to focus on the American Revolution.  Who is your favorite Revolutionary War ancestor? What unique source of information about that period have you found? Where did your family live in the late eighteenth century and why? While the focus of this meeting will be the Revolutionary period\, other topics for consideration are welcome. \n  \nTour of the Hanover Area Historical Society’s Hormel History and Research Center \nSunday\, April 4\, 2027\, 2:30 p.m. \nIn the fall of 2024\, the Hanover Area Historical Society opened the Hormel History and Research Center at the Guthrie Library in Hanover\, PA. The Center includes the Society’s Yelland Research Library and Archives and the collections of Guthrie’s Pennsylvania Reading Room. It holds a wealth of historical and genealogical information on families\, places and events in Hanover and the surrounding areas in York and Adams Counties. You will hear from Terri Altland\, Executive Director of the Historical Society\, as well as from a knowledgeable volunteer will provide a survey of the available resources. An optional tour of the Historical Society’s Warehime-Myers Mansion and museum may be offered. We will meet at the Guthrie Library at 2:30 p.m. for this program. More details to come. \n  \nTour of Historic Guinston Presbyterian Church \nSunday\, May 2\, 2027\, 2:30 p.m. \nFounded in 1754\, Guinston Presbyterian Church near Arville\, PA is among the oldest religious congregations in York County. Its historic stone meeting house—whose construction was completed in 1774–still stands\, surrounded by its cemetery. Join one of the church’s historians in an exploration of the old church building and the grounds. The meeting time is subject to change; more details to come. \n  \nThe Women and Children of Camp Security\, presented by Benjamin Werkley \nSunday\, June 13\, 2027\, 2:30 p.m. \nThe Revolutionary War era prisoner of war camp in York County known as Camp Security\, its prisoners\, and its guards have long been a point of fascination for the residents of York County. The nearly 400 women and children held there are often mentioned in presentations and literature on the site\, but they are rarely the focus of that programing. This presentation seeks to further illuminate their history by bringing them to the forefront of the story\, arguing that they formed an essential part of Camp Security shaping it in numerous ways. This presentation will explore the history of both the large number of women and children that accompanied the prisoners as well as the few women present among the guards\, providing an interesting and thought-provoking new perspective not only on Camp Security itself but also on prisoners of war during the American Revolution as a whole. \nBenjamin Werkley is a graduate student at James Madison University where he is pursuing his Master of Arts in History with a concentration in public history. Werkley holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Public History from York College of Pennsylvania. Much of his recent work has focused on how women and children interacted with the prisoner of war system during the American Revolution and eighteenth century militaries more broadly. He currently serves as a historical researcher on the board of the Friends of Camp Security. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Second Saturday - October
DESCRIPTION:Before the painting of Lafayette’s toast could hang in our new “Revolutionary York” exhibit\, it needed rescuing. Conservator Kenya Brown Feeser spent countless hours bringing the portrait back to life. At October’s Second Saturday\, she’ll take you behind the scenes of that painstaking work and the career that prepared her for it. Reserve your spot today. \nAbout our Speaker:\nBaltimore native Kenya Brown Feeser found in art conservation a career that brings together her two passions: art history and science. \nAfter earning a second bachelor’s degree\, in art history\, from Hood College in Frederick\, Maryland\, she moved to Florence\, Italy\, in 2006 to study conservation at Studio Art Centers International. She returned to the U.S. as lead conservator of the Jamestown Project at the Maryland Archaeological Conservation Laboratory. There she directed a team of conservators and volunteers in treating 42\,500 metal\, wood and ceramic objects. Later\, with the National Park Service at Jamestown\, she helped catalog objects from Green Spring Plantation. \nShe went back to Italy to earn a master’s degree in conservation science from the University of Bologna. Her thesis was a collaboration among Duke University\, Hood College and the University of Florence. It characterized cleaning protocols using Er:YAG lasers and studied pigment effects in the work of Paul Cézanne\, drawing on research at Duke\, French science laboratories\, Italy’s National Research Council in Florence and Hood’s chemistry department. \nHer most notable projects include: \n\nCaravaggio’s “St. Jerome Writing”\nthe restoration of the Edgar Allan Poe statue at the University of Baltimore\nthe Boy Scout Memorial in President’s Park near the White House\nthe completion of the National Park Service’s Jamestown archaeological conservation project\n\nCloser to home\, Kenya served nine years on the York County History Center’s board of directors and remains chair of the History Center’s Collections Committee. She has restored several 19th-century paintings\, ceramics and engravings for the History Center\, including works in the “Revolutionary York” exhibit\, among them the painting of Lafayette’s toast. She has also worked for the Crispus Attucks York History and Culture Center and the Spring Grove Area Historical Society\, and she has consulted on the Hanover Area Historical Society’s collection. \nOutside the lab\, she chaired the Spring Garden Township Police Department Advisory Board from 2021 to 2025. She has also volunteered for five years teaching theological studies at the York County Correctional Facility.

SUMMARY:Second Saturday - August
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to welcome authors Michael Shupp and Scott Mingus on August 8th to speak about “Fearless Sons of War” The 200th Pennsylvania Volunteers in the Civil War.\n\nAbout the Book:\nIn the summer of 1864\, President Abraham Lincoln called for 500\,000 men to join the Union Army to replenish ranks depleted by disease and combat. The 200th Pennsylvania Volunteers was among the infantry regiments raised in response to this call to arms. Serving for a term of one year\, the Keystoners received initial training at Camp Curtin in Harrisburg and then were transported to Virginia\, where they saw their initial action along the Bermuda Hundred Line. The 200th suffered its worst loss in the fighting to retake Fort Stedman during the Siege of Petersburg in March 1865\, losing more than 100 men in a 20-minute stand-up firefight with the Confederate attackers. The fifth color bearer of the day planted the flag on the rampart of Fort Stedman as the regiment helped recapture the earthworks from the Confederates. The 200th Pennsylvania assisted in the capture of Confederate Fort Mahone on April 2\, 1865\, and then helped repulse multiple counterattacks.

SUMMARY:July 4th at the History Center
DESCRIPTION:What better place to spend your July 4th festivities then immersed in American history at the History Center Museum! View the brand new “Revolutionary York” exhibit in the Brougher Gallery and explore our main gallery space with our American Revolution scavenger hunt. \nAdmission for the day is $10 for adults and $5 for students\, free for members to visit. \n9 AM – 1 PM Operating hours will correspond with the Cultural Fair across from the History Center Museum. \nPlease note the Fire Museum and Agricultural and Industrial Museum are both closed on July 4. Open sites include the History Center Museum and the Colonial Courthouse. \nAbout Revolutionary York:\nWhen British forces seized Philadelphia in 1777\, America’s leaders fled to York\, and a frontier town of 1\,800 became the nation’s capital. Revolutionary York\, on view July 2026 through December 2028\, brings that extraordinary chapter to life. Explore how Congress adopted the Articles of Confederation and secured French support that turned the tide of war\, and how the Revolution was experienced by the full range of people who called York County home. As we mark 250 years of independence\, this exhibit asks what those founding ideals mean to us today. \nVisit our Revolutionary York page here to learn more about the exhibit. \n
