The Millersville Area Historical Society (MAHS) will host a presentation titled "New Discoveries About Lancaster County's 1710 Settlement" when it meets at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 8, in the Millersville Borough Administration & Police Building, 100 Municipal Drive.

The speaker will be Christopher Scott, a history buff with a major interest in Colonial-era Lancaster.

Scott will share newly discovered information about the original 1710 settlement in the Pequea Valley. While conducting research for his book "Chain of Title," which explores the history of a local grist mill, he uncovered previously unreported information about a group of pioneers who provided the toehold for European settlement in Lancaster County. A question-and-answer period will conclude the meeting.

Scott is a retired medical device executive who has become very involved with the local historical research community. He converted an abandoned grist mill along the Pequea Creek into his current home. He has spoken around the country about historical research methodology and is a supporter of local historical associations, including the 1719 Museum, where he volunteers as a tour guide and researcher.  

Admission is free, and donations are appreciated. For more details, contact Phil Gerber at 717-872-8837 before noon or at pge8507@aol.com.
