History fun in Dover
Lots of fun going on today and into the coming week up in Dover, courtesy of the Greater Dover Historical Society.
Many of you might know about the society's project at Dover borough's Alda Ketterman park, setting up a working replica blacksmith shop.
Well, the society holds an open house at the shop in Ketterman Park, Butter Road, Dover, from 10 to 2 p.m. the second Saturday of each month through October - including today. You can visit the reconstructed blacksmith shop and watch resident smithy Ted Ziegler forge hot steel on the anvil.
What else is the group up to?
Well, on Tuesday, the society will hold its annual Historical Walk, starting at 6 p.m. Participants should meet at the blacksmith shop on Butter Road in Ketterman Park.
Everyone is invited to attend. Light refreshments will be served.
For details on that event, visit gdhspa.org.
And finally, the historical society meets at 7 p.m. the third Thursday of each month (except December) at the Calvary Luthern Church on the square in Dover. The public is welcome. For details, call President Madelyn Shermeyer at 292-2018 or Secretary Lori Koch at 292-6223. Feel free to check out this month's meeting on Thursday!
