Presentation To Focus On Ancient Carvings

The Solanco Historical Society will hold its next program on Saturday, Nov. 19, at 1:30 p.m. at the society's archives building, located across from the Robert Fulton Birthplace at 1932 Robert Fulton Highway (Route 222), Quarryville. The program is free and open to the public.

The program will be "Native American Carvings on the Lower Susquehanna River." Adam Zurn, founder of Uncharted Lancaster, will recount his expeditions down the lower Susquehanna River to explore the mysterious Native American petroglyphs hidden on the ancient river at Safe Harbor. He will discuss their significance and possible meanings as well as share some local legends surrounding the pictographs.

Zurn is a 21-year veteran technology education teacher in Lampeter-Strasburg School District, an amateur historian, and a Lancaster County resident since 1997. Zurn enjoys exploring off the trail, searching for forgotten locations, and documenting those experiences online. He gives presentations on various local history topics and guided tours in the Conestoga Township area. He serves on the boards of the Historic Preservation Trust of Lancaster County and the Conestoga Area Historical Society.
