This group saved the Spring Gardcen school complex in 1991 and recently andx successfully proposed to have a baseball field named after Lena Blackburne , a 68 year resident of Palmyra and professional ballplayer who discovered baseball’s magic mud. We presently have exhibit cases i n Palmyra’s Borough Hall filled with memoriblila and our archives house artifacts , and photographs of the Morgan family who lived in this famous house. We are always looking for financial support and new trustees with a love of geneology and history. I also pen a local history column in the TOWN NEWS you may want to check out. Go to http://www.boroughofpalmyra.com, and click on “community” and go to “historical Society” for more info on us, or contact box 446 Palmyra NJ 08065

I must tell you that I love visiting Philadelphia. So much history there. Our daughter and son-in-law lived in Drexel Hill while she pursued her PhD at Temple University.

I never missed an opportunity to visit the historic sites of Philly. I think I now know Philly better than I know Boston lol.

I think those of us who live in the older sections of our country and who are researching their families have come to
see more of those “shadows of history” than we once did.

Thanks for posting this!
