The Millersville Area Historical Society (MAHS) will offer a presentation titled "Logan in Lancaster: Indians, Friends, and Furs" when it meets at 9 a.m. on Saturday, May 10, in the Millersville Borough Administration and Police Building, 100 Municipal Drive. Doors will open at 8:30 a.m. and lock at 9:15 a.m.

The speaker will be Laura C. Keim, curator of Stenton, the circa 1730 seat of the Logan family near Germantown that is administered as a historic house museum by the National Society of the Colonial Dames of America. She also is a lecturer in historic preservation at the University of Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania's provincial secretary James Logan is known in Lancaster County for his use of the Conestoga wagon to ship furs to the port of Philadelphia and wares and Indian trade goods west to the frontier. Keim's slideshow presentation will offer a biography of Logan and consider connections between Philadelphia and Lancaster County through him and his relationships with Susanna Wright and Native Americans. A question-and-answer period will end the discussion.

Keim has served as Stenton's curator for 25 years. At Penn, she teaches History of the American Domestic Interior, Historic Site Management, and a Public History Theory and Praxis Seminar. She is the publisher of a Stenton Guidebook and has penned numerous articles. The Montgomery County native has a Master of Science degree in historic preservation from the University of Pennsylvania, a Master of Arts in early American culture from the University of Delaware's Winterthur Program, and a Bachelor of Arts in art history from Smith College.
