Tuesday, April 22, 2025 from 6 PM to 7:30 PM
From the early French forts, commerce on Lake Erie, and the oil boom to today's new technology and tourism industry, northwestern Pennsylvania's economy comes alive in a new and unique history by JES Decadian Scholar Dr. Judy Lynch. This was America's earliest frontier from colonial times to the American Revolution and the early days of a new nation. It soon confronted industrialization, immigration, world wars, and evolving transportation, while constantly changing to adapt to new challenges. The book is filled with stories of triumph, transformative change, and sometimes abrupt endings to what once seemed unshakable. Join Dr. Lynch and the book's editor and JES Publications Director Pat Cuneo as they dive into the history and impact specific to local areas throughout the region.
