Join the AAUW Harrisburg Branch for a captivating presentation by historian and author David Biser, as he explores the life and legacy of John Harris, Jr., the visionary founder of Pennsylvania’s capital city. Based on his compelling book, Visionary Road to the Capital: The Little Known Story of John Harris, Jr., Biser sheds light on the remarkable contributions of a man whose story has long been overshadowed by time. Discover how Harris’s entrepreneurial spirit, diplomatic skill, and deep ties with Indigenous communities helped lay the foundations for what would become the city of Harrisburg. Through in-depth research and engaging storytelling, Biser brings to life a critical yet often overlooked chapter in local and state history. This program is hosted by the American Association of University Women Harrisburg Branch.

As part of the New Cumberland Earth & Arts Festival, we are learning about the Aurora Borealis from speaker Lou Thieblemont. Also known as the Northern Lights, this naturally-occurring light display in the night sky is the result of solar winds. In olden times, the ancients were mystified, and historical battles were even impacted by their appearance in the sky. You’ll also learn about some sites and apps that alert you to the likelihood of seeing an Aurora.
