Join us at the Lititz Public Library on April 18th, 2026 for our next historical program! We’ll be welcoming Dominish Marie Miller, who will discuss “Pennsylvania’s Women on the Home Front: Their Contributions and Impact.”When we talk about World War II, we often think about the battles overseas, but the home front was just as vital—and across the Commonwealth, Pennsylvania women were the engine driving the "Arsenal of Democracy." The industrial might of the state, and the American war effort as a whole, would not have been possible without their contributions. From the steel mills of Pittsburgh to the shipyards of Philadelphia and the factories of York and Lancaster, Pennsylvania women stepped up to fill the void left by millions of men serving overseas.
Miller is the Third Circuit Court of Appeals Librarian for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, the founder of Preserving the History of Newberrytown, runs the Lewisberry Area History Lovers group and is a founding board member of the Newberrytown Special Events Committee. She serves as Librarian and VIS Chair for the Harrisburg Chapter, NSDAR. She is also a reenactor with the 87th Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, Company C where she portrays a Second Corporal. She is the author of two cookbooks and two local history books.
This program is free and open to the public. Signups begin at 9am on April 4th. After that day and time, call the library to register at 717-626-2255 or visit the link below.
