LANCASTER, PA – LancasterHistory is bringing history out into the community with History Happy Hour, a fun evening of local history, conversation, and storytelling at The Exchange on Thursday, August 27, from 5-7pm.
The evening's featured program, "Same Streets, Different Century," will be presented by LancasterHistory historian and curator Stephanie Townrow. Looking out over the streets below, Townrow will transport guests back to the 1700s and 1800s through her talk, revealing the people, taverns, markets, and businesses that once animated Lancaster's historic center.
