Reply to comment by maxwellington97 in Any early Pennsylvania, specifically Chester County, history buffs out there? by geewhizliz

That's great for OP and kudos to Chester County. Good staff in any library or society represent such an underappreciated resource in any community.

I grew up in a very rural PA community with no library whatsoever at a time that the internet wasn't yet in widespread use and from personal experience libraries and historical/genealogical societies matter.

Oh for sure. Especially because those are the kinds of people that will fight for the history of the area to be preserved in a way beyond just files in a room.
