Step back into 1862 to hear the remarkable first-hand account from R. I. Young, a Pennsylvania student attending Edward Hall’s private Ellington Family School for Boys. It offers a vivid, lively glimpse into daily life in Ellington more than 120 years ago. His curious wanderings, sharp observations, and youthful adventures around town paint a warm and witty portrait of our community in another era.
