The Newtown Square Historical Society presents two local experts on the history of Newtown Square who will interest and entertain you with outstanding slides and background on our past. Janice Elston grew up in Newtown Square and her family was part of this history and she can answer almost any question you might have with regard to everything in our town's past. Doug Humes is very familiar with Marple Newtown's history through his research and various local interests. Both Janice and Doug have co-authored books about Newtown Square and the Bartram Covered Bridge. The program will begin at 7:30 P.M.
Jan and Doug have served in many positions on the Historical Society Board and are involved with all of our educational events as well as actual preservation projects. Doug maintains a blog on this subject. You may remember him as Sandy Flash at the 5K run/walk. Jan is the first to know what historic building disappeared in the middle of the night, or just went on the auction block. Together, Doug and Jan have collected a great deal of information
