Head to the Deane Center for the Performing Arts in Wellsboro on Friday, May 15th at 7:30 pm for a History Comes Alive presentation, “Benjamin Franklin” featuring Barry Stevens.

Barry Stevens has been presenting Benjamin Franklin since 2005. He was tending campfire while participating as a member of the First Virginia Regiment (a company of Revolutionary War re-enactors). Visitors to the campfire would address him as “Ben” with such frequency and certainty that he outfitted himself as this special 18th Century gentleman and actually began answering their questions! His education of Dr. Franklin has led him to read and study extensively on the life and times of this American personality. That study is ongoing and without end. It has taken him to locations throughout the Colonies known to Dr. Franklin and even to Le Procope restaurant in Paris, France. On a recent trip he visited the Bakken Museum in Minneapolis, MN to gain insight into the electrical experiments conducted by Dr. Franklin. This experience is constantly being referenced as he presents Benjamin Franklin to eager and responsive audiences.
Engage Dr. Franklin in a conversation and experience for yourself the fun of interacting with living history.

History Comes Alive - Abigail Adams - Deane Center
2026-04-14 19:30 - 21:30 | Deane Center for the Performing Arts, 104 Main Street, Wellsboro, PA, 16901, United States
Head to the Deane Center for the Performing Arts in Wellsboro on Tuesday, April 14th at 7:30 pm for a History Comes Alive presentation, “Abigail Admas” featuring Kim Hanley.

In her many letters Abigail Adams expressed the concerns and accomplishments of an early American patriotic woman. Her most famous request was for Congress to “Remember the ladies” in the creation of the Constitution of the United States. It was her clear understanding that women’s influences in the domestic sphere were as integral to the development of a new nation as the more public efforts of the founding fathers. Family economics, children’s education and civic responsibility, are the primary concerns of Abigail Adams. Her requests for legislation to benefit future generations included the necessity of education for all children regardless of sex or color, as well as the right to self-determination for all individuals including the emancipation of slaves and granting wives equal status under the law. An understanding of her hopes for posterity begs the question: If the founding fathers would have heeded Mrs. Adams advice sooner, would the nation have been spared years of strife from civil war to civil rights? A conversation with “Dear Abigail”, 18th century wife and mother provides insight into the concerns of today’s Americans.

Ms. Hanley’s interactive school programs involve audience members who begin with large piles of money that grow smaller with each tax act that the British Parliament passes, illustrating the economic tyranny the colonials faced under British rule. Abigail contrasts this inequality with a look into an egalitarian marriage of two intelligent, articulate people who value themselves, each other and their relationship.

Canyon Waterfall Geology Hike at Leonard Harrison Park
2026-04-11 09:00 - 13:00 | Leonard Harrison State Park
Explore the waterfalls along the lower Turkey Path at Leonard Harrison State Park on Saturday, April 11th at 9:00 am on your quest to unlock the geologic secrets of the PA Grand Canyon. The one-mile round trip hike up about 400 vertical feet (halfway) of the trail will be led by both park staff and professional geologists from DNCR’s Bureau of Geological Survey. The hike begins at the base of the canyon, where the Lock Haven Formation is exposed. These rocks were deposited approximately 380 million years ago as sediment on the edge of an ancient sea and contain fossils of marine organisms. As the hike progresses, the exposed rock will be progressively younger and transition into the shoreline and alluvial plane deposits of the Catskill Formation, effectively transporting participants through time and space of the geologic history of the gorge.
This program is well-suited for those curious about the ancient past of the gorge and those willing and able to complete the moderately strenuous hike. Registrants should meet by 9am in the Darling Run parking lot for the Pine Creek Trail (rail trail), be bussed approximately 3.5 miles to the base of the trail below Leonard Harrison State Park where the program will begin. After a brief introduction, the group will climb slowly, learning along the way to a point about ½ way up the path and near the upper waterfall.
Participants should wear proper footwear and layered clothing for the hike. A small backpack, water and snacks are also encouraged. Those interested should register online or by calling 570-724-3061. Spaces are limited and the deadline to register is Wednesday April 8th. In the event of inclement weather, this program may be cancelled.
