What to Expect

You're invited to Summer Lectures on the Lawn at the Historic Mifflin Farm! Bring your lawn chair or blanket and immerse yourself in engaging, educational talks set against the backdrop of a National Park Service Underground Railroad Network to Freedom historic site.

September 17: "From Plantation to Freedom," an Underground Railroad history lecture presented by Neicy DeShields-Moulton. As a York County-based genealogist and retired computer hardware engineer, Neicy DeShields-Moulton brings nearly 30 years of experience in family history research to her presentation. For this program, DeShields-Moulton will share insights from her research and discuss how genealogy can empower individuals to better understand their personal and collective histories. She currently serves on the boards of the York County History Center and Susquehanna National Heritage Area.

SPECIAL ENCORE
October 15: “A Look into Post-Civil War Memory in York County, Pennsylvania” with Brayden Danbury. This lecture takes a deeper look at how memories of the Civil War in York County have evolved from the postwar era to the present day. Through an exploration of politics, economics, reconciliation, and race, the talk examines the forces that have shaped how York County has remembered its Civil War history. Ultimately, it asks: Whose stories have been remembered? Whose have been forgotten? And how have those narratives changed over time?
