The extensive travel diaries of Esther Legget will be featured, which have been painstakingly transcribed from her fancy script, and tell the story of a local woman who traveled to the far reaches of the Earth at the turn of the last century.

This exhibit will be a window into the lives of long lost Phoenixville relations and neighbors, who walked the same streets and left the written word to spell out their legacy.

The historical society is located at 204 Church Street in Phoenixville.
