CURRENT
ACTIVITIES
(updated October 2009)
We are
still conducting and recording Oral History interviews. This project has
been a great success, so we are now more excited than ever. If you lived in
or knew someone who lived in Paxtang prior to 1970, and are willing to share
a few memories, please contact PHS President Angela Salvadia-Zook at
aszook@pa.net These interviews
usually require at least an hour of your time, but your memories will be
recorded and shared forever.
We are
seeking information and maps or sketches showing the layout and location of
the world famous Paxtang Park. Please contact Robin Lighty at
robin@lighty.net
We are
seeking information regarding the PAXTANG LAND COMPANY. It existed circa
1890 until 1920 and was developed by the Forney brothers. If you have any
documentation or information of any kind regarding this company, please
contact a member of the Board-of-Directors.
If you have
photographs of Paxtang that were taken many years ago, and are willing to
share them, please contact Murv Grunden (717-561-2620). He will make copies
of them and return them to you safe and unharmed. You can trust him,
everbody does, and for good reason.
Special
Paxtang Artifact Search and Request:
At one
time, there was a wooden pipe that ran from the Paxton Church down Paxtang
Avenue. This supplied water to the houses in the community. It was replaced,
but sections of it were cut into 12" pieces and given to residents who lived
along the Avenue at that time. We would like to obtain, borrow or photograph
a piece of that old pipe. If you have one, please contact Murv Grunden
(717-561-2620).
