As we begin the 250th anniversary celebration of the Declaration of Independence, it is fitting that we ask, “What was Cornwall like during the colonial era?” This presentation features an overview
of Colonial Cornwall, including answers to questions like who were the residents, what did they eat and drink, what did they farm, where did they live, what work did they do, and how much were they paid? Please join us on Tuesday, March 10th, at 7 p.m. for this scene-setting session for the Semiquincentennial here at Cornwall.
The presenter, Michael Weber, volunteers as a guide, researcher, and lecturer at Cornwall Iron Furnace. As a 1982 geosciences graduate from Penn State, Mike worked for 36 years as a geologist, health physicist, and manager for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the U.S. Geological Survey. After retiring from Federal service, he returned to Cornwall Furnace, where he serves as a guide and researches the history of mining and the geology at Cornwall and similar deposits in PA. He is the author of “Always More Production,” a history of the mining operations at Cornwall.
This event will take place in-person at Freeman Hall at Cornwall Manor and virtually on Zoom.
Registration is only required for online attendance. To register for the virtual lecture please go to:
