Historically, milling was the most enduring industrial activity in the small rural village ofMortonville. From the 1760s to 1920s, a mill at or near this site processed locally-grown wheat, corn, and other grains into flour, meal, and feed. The mill was substantially altered for use as a store with upstairs apartment in the late 1940s. The remodeled building burned in 1955. Description: The Mortonville Mill has collapsed in on itself One exterior fieldstone wall and sections of two side walls and an interior wall are all that remain standing. The front (eastern) wall is two-story, three-bay. The foundation has a rectangular footprint (55' x 54'). Some timber framing survives amongst the rubble. Archeological investigations in 1991 identified no significant historical deposits due to extensive modern disturbances. No machinery survives. The clearest physical evidence that the building was once a mill is the depression of the dry mill race and rubble-filled wheelpit at the rear of the ruin.

    A History of the Strasburg Rail Road, 1832-1862 by Lester James Kiscaden

    A History of the Strasburg Rail Road, 1832-1862 by Lester James Kiscaden PREFACE This paper emerged out of a curiosity to investigate the origin of the Strasburg Rail Road. A life-long resident of Strasburg and interested in its past as well as its future, I felt compelled to investigate the first thirty years of the railroad's existence in order to clarify the misconceptions and myths that have emerged about that era of the road's history. Research has been conducted at the following locations: Har- risburg, Pennsylvania: The William Penn Memorial Museum, The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (Archives Build- ing) , The State Library (Law Library and Periodical Complex), and The Corporation Bureau; Lancaster, Pennsylvania: Lancaster County Historical Society, Frackenthal Library (Franklin and Mar- shall College), Lancaster County Court House (Prothonotary Office), and the Lancaster County Free Public Library; West Chester, Penn. sylvania: Chester County Court House (Law Library) , Francis Har- vey Green Library (West Chester State College) , and Chester Coun- ty Historical Society; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: The Historical So- ciety of Pennsylvania; Millersville, Pennsylvania: Helen Ganser Li- brary (Millersville State College), and Strasburg, Pennsylvania; Strasburg Borough Office, First National Bank of Strasburg, and the Strasburg Rail Road Administrative Office. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS To undertake a project of this nature one needs the cooperation and assistance of many individuals which I wish to acknowledge. I am deeply appreciative for the guidance of my advisor, Mr. Harold E. Shaffer. The following librarians were of invaluable as- sistance in helping my research: Miss Martha Simonetti, Associate Archivist, Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission; Mrs.

A Brief History of Transportation in West Chester Copyright 2001 by Jim Jones The history of West Chester is intimately connected to its role as a transportation hub. West Chester is situated on high ground between the Brandywine and Chester Creek watersheds, at a point that attracted travelers since the earliest days of recorded history. The Great Minquas Trail of the Lenni Lenape passed through the area in the 17th century, connecting settlements and trading posts in the lower Schuylkill Valley with fur-producing regions to the west. Early Roads The first roads in the area were laid out in the early eighteenth century. Although neither the "Old Lancaster Road" (US30) nor the "Old Baltimore Pike" (US1) passed through West Chester, William Penn's "Street Road" (PA926) passed a short distance to the south, and the "Strasburg Road" passed along what later became the north edge of the borough.

    Area's #1 Fishing & Hunting Outfitter

    Dear Angler: Here in Maryland, we need only look to our State Seal — depicting the fisherman and the ploughman — for proof that fishing really is part of our heritage. It’s a fun, affordable and accessible activity for all ages, and a great excuse to get our children away from video and computer games and into the great outdoors! Approximately 700,000 adults and thousands of young people fish each year in Maryland, with an estimated annual impact of $1 billion on our economy. Gov. Martin O’Malley and Sec. John R. Griffin More than a third of our anglers visit from out of state, testimony to the value and quality of our great fishing resources. We are very fortunate to have expert biologists and managers – working to- gether with our Sport Fisheries, Tidal Fisheries and Oyster Advisory Commissions, and our Coastal Fisheries Advisory Committee, to guide fisheries management across our State. We are also very fortunate to have you -- committed conserva- tionists and advocates – working with us. Your license revenues support protection and enhancement of Maryland’s fishery resources, research and management activities, expanded public access and enhanced law enforcement. And we look forward to strengthening our partnership with you as we work toward our goals for a restored Chesapeake Bay, thriving freshwater streams, and healthy abundant fish populations. Thank you for being a part of a great cultural tradition, and here’s wishing you a terrific year of fishing in Maryland. Martin O’Malley John R. Griffin Governor Secretary About the Cover: This edition of the Maryland Fishing Guide is dedicated to Frances McFaden, who retired from public service after 43 years as a steadfast, ever-helpful, and resourceful Maryland state worker.

  • Elk Neck, Cecil County

    Elk Neck, Cecil County

    Important Bird Areas Program Bird Blitz 2010-2011: Elk Neck, Cecil County Elk Neck Peninsula is located in central Cecil County and is bordered on the west by the Chesapeake Bay and North East River and on the east by the Elk River. Elk Neck Peninsula is well-known as a migration corridor for both raptors and songbirds. Its cone shape especially concentrates southbound birds in the autumn before they continue across the Chesapeake Bay. The Peninsula is mostly forested with substantial portions protected as Elk Neck State Park and State Forest. Surveys focused on the Peninsula’s forest core in Elk Neck State Forest. The State Forest consists of four separate tracts comprising about 1,335 ha (3,300 acres) of primarily oak- gum-cypress forest with smaller areas of loblolly-shortleaf pine and oak-hickory forest as well. Given that Elk Neck is heavily forested, 2010-2011 Bird Blitz surveys targeted birds of the Forest Interior Dwelling Species (FIDS) assemblage, or species listed by Maryland DNR as requiring large areas of intact forest to breed successfully, and particularly those FIDS considered at-risk in the state. All totaled, 10 surveys, including a nightjar survey, were conducted by 8 volunteers covering a distance of nearly 29 km of transects during more than 21 survey hours (Table 1). The results of these surveys are summarized below in Table 2, with highlighted species representing those which matched or exceeded their state-level IBA thresholds. It is important to note that Bird Blitz survey totals represent minimum population estimates of breeding pairs.
