Book Signing
First Friday, August 5, 2011
6:00 - 8:00 p.m.
In conjunction with the opening reception of
our Sporting Lycoming Countians exhibition, local authors
David Ira Kagan and John W. Harbach, Sr. will be having a book
signing for their latest work Sugar Valley Villages, part of
the Arcadia Publishing Images of America series.
The book boasts more than 200 vintage photographs and memories of
days gone by, and will be available in the Museum bookstore starting
August 5.
Sugar Valley was named for the many large sugar maple trees found in
the area when settlers first arrived in the 1780s. In the
1800s, most of the valley's residents worked as farmers, millers, or
lumbermen. In the early 1900s, the White Deer and Loganton
Railway transported lumber, mail, coal, other freight, and
passengers. The Logan House, a popular resort hotel in
Loganton featuring nearby Sulphur Spring mineral waters, flourished
until the great fire of June 19, 1918 destroyed it, along with much
of the borough. Today Sugar Valley contains the only covered
bridge remaining in Clinton County.
