SUMMARY:Miss Lydia's Church
DESCRIPTION:In January 1924\, in the middle of a snowstorm\, in the middle of the night\, four people\, two sets of strangers\, came together. Two were White; two were Black. Two were female; two were male. Two were steeped in religion; two were centered in astronomy. All were wishing for better relations between the races. What brought these strangers together? Was it a moon phase or a planetary shift or something deeper and farther away? \nJoin us February 21 to learn more about Miss Lydia’s Church written by Dr. Dorothy King. This play reading will be presented in connection with PenOwl Productions. \n  \nDoors open at 12:30 pm\nView our Play flyer.

SUMMARY:Agricultural York- March
DESCRIPTION:Presentation by Judy Grove and Cindy Pizziketti (Wallace Cross Mill docents)\n\nIn this session\, Judy Grove will highlight the historical significance and operations of the Wallace Cross Mill as it celebrates its bicentennial anniversary. Following this\, Cindy Pizziketti will share the story of the two Wallace sisters who ran the mill for 30 years. Having taken over operations during the Civil War\, the sisters were among the many unsung women who kept the country running during that era.

Some sweet treats will be provided by our presenters with buckwheat that was processed at the Wallace Cross Mill.

SUMMARY:York Civil War Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:April 15\, 2026 – Peter Miele – The Mifflin Farm: A Place of Courage\, Conflict\, and Conscience \nThis program will be in person and available on Zoom. \nIn person registration \nZoom registration \nOn a knoll overlooking the Susquehanna River in Wrightsville\, Quakers Jonathan and Susanna Wright Mifflin built their home at the dawn of the 19th century. Quickly\, this home took center stage in the regional conflict over slavery. Courageous freedom seekers\, escaping the brutality of bondage\, found refuge within the walls of the Mifflin Home for more than thirty years. In the summer of 1863\, the Civil War came to Wrightsville as thousands of Confederates attempted to cross the Columbia-Wrightsville Bridge into Lancaster County but were stopped by courageous local militiamen on the Mifflin Farm. One hundred and fifty-five years later\, conflict returned to the farm when the property was threatened by demolition. The community rallied and saved this treasure\, soon to be the Susquehanna Discovery Center & Heritage Park\, a world-class visitor destination celebrating the nationally important stories of York and Lancaster Counties. \nPeter Miele is Senior Project Leader at Susquehanna National Heritage Area\, directing the development of the Susquehanna Discovery Center & Heritage Park in Wrightsville\, PA\, and an adjunct faculty member at York College of Pennsylvania. Previously\, Miele worked at Seminary Ridge Museum & Education Center in Gettysburg for more than eleven years\, including four years as President & Executive Director. He earned his BA in History and Secondary Education from Ramapo College of New Jersey\, and an MA in Applied History from Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania. His scholarship has appeared in Pennsylvania History and Gettysburg Magazine. Currently a student in the Ph.D. program in American Studies at Penn State\, Harrisburg\, he is working on a dissertation that examines Gettysburg’s Eternal Light Peace Memorial in history\, memory\, and myth. \n

SUMMARY:Manufacturing York
DESCRIPTION:Why did a gifted man of the cloth leave the ministry to manufacture washing machines? How did an ex preacher\, so poor at one time he could not afford to fix the roof on his house\, become a wealthy man and the leading industrialist in the history of York? How did five exiting companies employing over 2\,000 people grow from his work? \nThis program answers these questions and provides a window into the life of the founder of the S. Morgan Smith Company (now Voith Hydro). \nThe Rev. Dr. Stephen Nicholas served in the ministry of the Moravian Church for forty-one years before he retired and returned to his hometown of York. He and his friend\, Terry Downs\, have presented this program more than forty times to varied audiences in York\, Adams\, Lancaster and Lehigh Counties. Rev. Nicholas and Terry Downs completed a biography of Smith in 2017 titled\, “Reinventing the Wheel\, the Incredible Story of S. Morgan Smith\, Minister\, Inventor\, Industrialist.” Visit the History Center gift shop during regular hours to purchase a copy of the book. \n  \nThe galleries will not be open for this program.
