Penn’s Village Reads:
“Idyls of the Old South Ward” by John E. McDonough
Wednesday, July 22, 2020, 3:30 pm
Our reader, Harrison Wetherill from Old City, comes from Quaker ancestors who settled in Chester, PA in 1810. He has long been fascinated by Chester history and will read from “Idyls of the Old South Ward,” which recollects tales of Old Chester as seen by the writer as a boy in the 1880s. The story provides a glimpse of life in a Delaware River town at that time and describes a very unusual event. “Idyl” is an old word meaning a short description in verse or prose of a picturesque scene or incident.
You will receive an email a few days before the event as well as on the day of the event with a link to the meeting, the Meeting ID, call-in telephone numbers and instructions for joining the meeting.
