Join us for a dynamic presentation by Michael Emery on Pennsylvania German Architecture. This program explores the various types of houses Pennsylvania Germans built from the mid 18th century to the mid 19th century using a combination of current & historic photos as well as drawings of details and floorplans. Attendees will also learn about the materials used and interior decorations. If you enjoyed Michael's Gravestone Lecture in the fall, you won't want to miss this program!
