I'll be speaking about local historic architecture this weekend as part of the York County Heritage Trust Second Saturday program. Here's the press release:
IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK... York County Heritage Trust to Host Second SaturdaysLocal author and historian Scott Butcher will lend a voice to York's historic buildings on Sat., Nov. 8, beginning at 10:30 a.m. at the Agricultural & Industrial Museum on 217 W. Princess St. during the York County Heritage Trust's Second Saturday program as he discusses the architectural and historic relevance of these buildings. Second Saturday programming is free of charge.
"Within the context of York's history, architecture is sometimes the unsung hero," said Butcher. "We hear so much about the American Revolution, Civil War, and Industrial Revolution, but the architectural stock in York County is historic and diverse. Visitors to the community frequently comment on the array of architectural styles, and I'm excited at the opportunity to showcase our local architectural heritage."
Butcher will discuss his recently released book, York's Historic Architecture: A History and Guide, during the November program, and will be available for a book signing following the program. Interested listeners can purchase their own copy of York's Historic Architecture: A History and Guide at any of the York County Heritage Trust's Museum Shops located at the Agricultural & Industrial Museum and the Historical Society Museum.
Second Saturdays is a free program offered by the York County Heritage Trust, providing an entertaining yet educational Saturday afternoon for the community. Participants will enjoy a free program at a featured York County Heritage Trust site, and are then encouraged to enjoy the day in Downtown York, taking advantage of the culture, dining and shopping opportunities along the way. Coupons to local restaurants and shops are available at the York County Convention & Visitors Bureau, where visitors may also enter-to-win a basket filled to the brim with York County goodies.
