LHF Posts Annual Meeting

The Lititz Historical Foundation (LHF) will hold its annual meeting on Saturday, Nov. 15, at 1:30 p.m. at the Lititz Public Library, 651 Kissel Hill Road. After a brief business meeting, LHF president Cory Van Brookhoven will discuss the history of turnpike mile markers in Lancaster County.

Generations ago, Lancaster County had 10 "turnpikes" that ran through many of its towns, with small markers noting the distance at each mile. Today, many of these markers have been removed or destroyed or have simply vanished from their original locations. Van Brookhoven will discuss the history of these markers and provide updates concerning their whereabouts.

In addition to serving as the president of LHF, Van Brookhoven has penned four books on Lancaster County history and has written more than 150 feature stories for a local newspaper.

The presentation is free and open to the public. To register, call the Lititz Public Library at 717-626-2255.
