SUMMARY:Edith and Emily’s Excellent Adventure
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Zimmerman Center for Heritage for a unique and engaging program about one of the most famous boundaries in America, the Mason-Dixon Line. This historic line, drawn in the 1760s to resolve a border dispute between Pennsylvania and Maryland, eventually came to represent the cultural divide between North and South. The Zimmerman Center sits on land once occupied by Thomas Cresap, a Maryland frontiersman whose efforts to claim the area for Maryland helped ignite the violent boundary conflict known as Cresap’s War. That conflict played a key role in the decision to bring British surveyors Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon to the colonies to settle the dispute.\nIn this program, retired educator Edith Kilby Bacon and her sister, retired journalist and history enthusiast Emily Kilby, will share their incredible journey to find and visit all 23 original Mason-Dixon stone markers between Cecil County, Maryland, and Chester and Lancaster Counties in Pennsylvania. Over three winters, they explored back roads, wooded thickets, industrial sites, and even underground spaces to track down these historic stones. Their talk combines fascinating history, personal adventure, and a closer look at how the Mason-Dixon Line shaped both our region and the broader American story.\nWhat’s included\n-One-Hour Talk\n-Light Refreshments\n
