York County History Storytellers are on a quest to help make sense of York County’s long, complex and compelling story. We’d love for you to join a type of evening campfire under the York County History Center’s stack that is full of revealing tales that are compelling and painful and funny and truthful.

The next Writers’ Roundtable meeting will be December 5 at 7:00 pm.  Dr. Peter Levy will present a reading from his historical play “43 Deepgreen Lane” about the experience of the Myers family in Levittown.

This program will be held in-person, online on Zoom, and streamed on Facebook.

For more than 30 years, Peter B. Levy, retired professor of history at York College of Pennsylvania, taught courses on the Civil Rights Movement, Environmental History, and Race and Justice.  He has written more than a dozen books, including The Great Uprising: Race Riots in Urban America during the 1960s; Civil War on Race Street: The Civil Rights Movement in Cambridge, Maryland; and The New Left and Labor. Since retiring, he has spent much of his time writing historical dramas for the theater.

We are excited to welcome in an array of local authors to the History Center on December 7 from 11 am until 1 pm. Authors range from those who write about their lived experiences to those who reflect on historic events and themes. Each author will have their books for sale through the museum gift shop on the day of the book signing.
