Peters Creek Historical Society (PCHS) welcomes Mr. David Scofield, director of the Meadowcroft Rockshelter and Historic Village in Avella, Washington County, PA as their guest speaker on Monday, September 28. The program will be held at 7:30PM at Wright's United Methodist Church, 788 Venetia Road, Venetia.
Mr. Scofield began his museum career in 1988 as a demonstrating craftsman at Old Salem in Winston-Salem, NC. After working to develop a new turn of the century living history farm as a North Carolina state historic site, he moved to Western Pennsylvania to be a part in the effort to develop Meadowcroft, a National and State Register Historic Site, a US National Landmark and a Washington County History and Landmark Foundation Landmark. To visit Meadowcroft is to traverse 19,000 years of history from an archeological treasure to the interpretive villages around it. The public is welcomed to join the society for an evening that is sure to bring pride in Meadowcroft, a local, state and national historic treasure.
