Headquartered in a building in Akenac Park, it will host an Irish program in honor of St. Patrick’s Day performed by acclaimed professional storyteller Jonathan Kruk at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Delaware Township Municipal Building. Those who regularly attend the historical society’s programs may have seen him at a previous one telling stories such as the one of the Headless Horseman as well as historical stories.
Historical Society President Tim Singleton has explored ways of reaching out to the casual observers, and at the Delaware Township Board of Supervisors workshop prior to its regular meeting on Wednesday last week, Singleton asked that an ordinance prohibiting electronic signage in rural residential areas, which includes the Akenac Park location, be amended to allow him to put up a permanent electronic sign that may be purchased by the society to go below the Akenac Park sign on busy Route 729................................For more information subscribe to our paper.
