TOWN TOURS & VILLAGE WALKS COMES TO EAST GOSHEN

 

What do Jane Ashbridge, John Hoopes, Amos Matlack, Lydia Davie, a PA Militiaman, a British Soldier, a tavern Serving Wench and others who lived in colonial times have in common?  They are all historical characters that will guide you through Historic Goshenville.   Costumed volunteers and guides using "first person interpretation" will tell their stories and give you a personal point of view of life in colonial times.

 

Bring your family for the Thursday July 22 and take advantage of a unique experience. 

 

More than 75 volunteers are involved in this great program.  This is the third time since 2004 that East Goshen Township has participated in the Town Tours program.  This is a wonderful event designed for all members of your family.  We hope you can come.

And best of all – IT'S FREE !
