As part of the Conversation E-town series, local resident and history connoisseur Mary Conrad will present "William Penn: Who Knew?" on Thursday, April 18, from 7 to 8 p.m. The program will be held at the Victorian H.U. Coble House, 33 E. High St., Elizabethtown, located adjacent to the Winters Heritage House Museum.

Conrad will explain how William Penn, who was born in 1644 in London, received a charter granting him ownership of land in the New World and how he created the government of Pennsylvania despite having no previous governmental leadership experience. She will also answer the question "Is there a connection between William Penn and Winters Heritage House?"
