The Newtown Square Historical Society presents Dr. Joseph Edgette, who will speak on local stories from the sinking of the Titanic, beginning at 7:45 p.m. on Wednesday, April 18, 2012 in the Dunwoody Village Auditorium in Newtown Square.
On the night of the ship’s fateful accident, several members of a well known local family, the Wideners, threw a dinner party for Captain Edward Smith, who planned to retire after this last voyage. And, sadly, this was his last voyage.
There is no charge to attend this presentation and school children are welcome. Refreshments will be served, offering the opportunity to network and meet your neighbors.
