Much has been written about our revolutionary history. We hear stories about Benjamin Franklin and George Washington. York County was directly involved with many of the battles and paying the taxes to fund the war. That history will be brought to the front and stories and facts as printed in our history will be shared. Be ready for a few surprising facts and the desire to find more facts! Please bring an open mind as history is somewhat different in fact versus social media.
