Hello gang...
found out something REALLY interesting that actually shocked me.
Chambersburg.. the lovely lil' town I live in... is supposed to be right after Philadelphia in historical significance even ahead of Gettysburg
. I found that out over the weekend with the opening of of HERITAGE CENTER.
Although a significant battle happened in Gettysburg that was the only thing.
The confederates burned Chambersburg to the ground because we were the only town that refused to pay ransom. The underground railroad was significant here and the first ever night baseball game was played here. There is lots more... but I am not that big of a historian.
This week is our annual CHAMBERSFEST. It is the 140th anniversary of when our town was burned to the ground. Loosing 141 structures.
I can find the link to this info if any one is interested.
