Hi.
I just saw a video from your facebook page called From here to there – crossing the Bohemia River bridge. I want to show it to my Dad who kept his sailboat on the Bohemia for 20 years, but he doesn’t have facebook. Would you be able to send me a link to share with him?
Thanks for your help!
Mike
This should work for you. It’s on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNr4MSxeFEU
Do you know if the Colora Meeting House will hold its annual Quaker meeting on the third Sunday of September this year? I wonder if they will meet in person.
Thanks for any information.
Andrea, we aren’t sure.
Is there any information available about the canal on Red hill? It can still be found at the MD/DE state line and Rt 40 and Ott’s Chappell Rd.
Do you have any information about West Nottingham Presbyterian Church, which will be turning 300 in 2024?
Check with the Historical Society for that Laurelle. They have a vertical file.
Looking for information that maybe my Grandmother donated on family history
Her name was Stella Mae Rose, she made several books and collected tons of information
She has long passed and information was lost in house fire
Any info would be greatly appreciated
My mother passed in September and we are looking for photos
Thank you so much
Diane, have you checked with the Historical Society of Cecil County. If not email them and they will get back to you. The website is http://www.cecilhistory.org
