Historic Rock Ford welcomes Benton G. Webber as he presents “Revolutionary Lancaster.” Lancaster County was not the site of any military battles of our country's Revolutionary War, but the community was impacted in almost every other way possible. Come and learn about life here 250 years ago and how it was turned upside down as "the course of human events" at the global and national scale came crashing down right here in Lancaster, disrupting the lives of many in order to secure "certain unalienable rights."
Benton G. Webber is a civil engineer, whose historical interests tend to focus on the changes to our community’s environment and the development of its infrastructure. He frequently offers in-person presentations and on-line postings about the history of the Conestoga River and the Lincoln Highway. A passionate collaborator, Ben is deeply involved in the preservation of historic resources. He resides in Manheim Township, where he is president of the Manheim Township Historical Society.
This presentation will begin at 7 PM in the Langmuir Education Room located on the first floor of the Rock Ford Barn. Admission is for the lecture only and does not include the Snyder Gallery.
