1912: CHAMBERSBURG AS RECALLED BY AN OLD RESIDENT

These old clippings are truly a goldmine of interesting and little known history. Most historians will agree that old newspapers area an incredibly rich source of historic information. Of course, the newspaper publishers of the day never dreamed that they were creating these wonderful moments in time. Such is the case with this graphic and countless others that are being digitized in the Local History Collection of the Hamilton Township Public Library. Former (and current) residents of this historic neighborhood will find this enhanced graphic to be a fascinating journey into the past of what old timers call "the old borough."
