February 8 - The Wissahickon Valley Historical Society is having a meeting at 7:30 PM at the Wissahickon Public Library on Skippack Pike.
The featured speaker will be Ajena Rogers, a Valley Forge National Park Ranger, who will give a living history presentation as Hannah Till an African American woman who spent 6 1/2 years working as George Washington's cook. A Revolutionary War veteran, she purchased her freedom in 1780. Should be quite interesting and will present a new perspective on the daily life of one of our Founding Fathers. Hope that you can make it.
