Green Ridge Village

John Fea   |  January 9, 2009 Leave a Comment

I spent a pleasant afternoon today at Green Ridge Village, a Presbyterian retirement center in Newville, PA (just outside of Carlisle). I was there as a Pennsylvania Commonwealth Speaker, giving a lecture on courtship and marriage in revolutionary America that focused on the relationship between Philip Vickers Fithian and Elizabeth Beatty. Their relationship is chronicled in The Way of Improvement Leads Home.

Thanks to Naomi Moses and the rest of the residents who treated me to lunch and peppered me with some great questions.
