The Schwenkfelders:

the poetry of Rebecca Lauren

Sunday, September 12, 2010

2:00 pm

at the Society Headquarters

1654 DeKalb Street Norristown, PA

Part history, part personal narrative, the poetry of Rebecca Lauren, Professor of English at Eastern University, tells the story of a persecuted people and of a narrator who seeks answers to the stories of �The Schwenkfelders.� The stories travel from Europe to the banks of the Susquehanna River. Inspired by her own Schwenkfelder heritage, Ms. Lauren pours out the history of the Schwenkfelders in a unique style that captures the essence of their heritage and what it means to be a Schwenkfelder.

The Historical Society of Montgomery County is located at 1654 DeKalb Street, Norristown, PA. Parking is available in the lot to the rear of the Society�s Headquarters. For further information, please call 610-272-0297.

The Historical Society is currently in the process of having the first fifty years of the Ambler Gazette scanned to be put on Micro Film in order to be digitized for all to see and use on the Internet. This is in cooperation with the Wissahickon Valley Library which has done much work in obtaining donations from local service organizations.
