                                Learn More About the Rich History 
                                 of Franklin County, Pennsylvania

Having collected and studied the history of my home community since the age of 8, I hope you share my enthusiasm for our local history and enjoy these snapshots of a few photos and paper collectibles.

Over the years I have had a series of books, 'Images of America,' published by Arcadia Publishing, on Chambersburg, Franklin County, and the Commemoration of the 225th anniversary of the County. The 'Historic Views' book which I helped to co-author and supply the historical materials for, is availale for purchase through the Franklin County Heritage Center located on The Square in downtown Chambersburg.

My interest in local history was conveyed to me from my father at a very young age, and also from reading about history in different books and periodicals. My historical collection of Franklin County includes land deeds, postcards, books, ephemera, cabinet photos, old negatives, and other types of memorabilia.

I earnestly trade, buy and sell and love to share the history of this County, and I'm always willing to learn more about our rich heritage.
