SUMMARY:Tioga County:  From River to Railroad
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that the first railroad to reach Tioga County originally was known as “Tioga Navigation”? Did you know that the first US post office for Blossburg first was called “Canal Port”?\n\nPhil Hesser will talk about the first projects to transport coal down the Tioga River and how investors in the Twin Tiers backed the new technologies of canals and railroads to make it happen. Join us on November 8 at 1:00 PM at the History Center to see how Tioga coal made its way to the North Atlantic and to California gold fields thanks to the 19th century transportation “moon shot” undertaken by the tech-savvy shareholders of the Tioga Navigation Co.\n\nPhil Hesser has focused on the history of Chesapeake Bay and its watershed following a career with an international NGO and at universities in two continents. He is the author of many articles and two books: What a River Says – Exploring the Blackwater River and Refuge (2014) and with co-author Charlie Ewers A Guide to Harriet Tubman’s Eastern Shore – The Old Home Is Not There (2021).

SUMMARY:Night of the Living Dead:  The Mansfield Connection
DESCRIPTION:How did Mansfield State College alum Ronald Keith Hartman – a music major and aspiring singer – end up with a role in Night of the Living Dead (1968)\, an iconic\, low-budget\, and hugely influential horror film famous for its graphic portrayal of flesh-eating zombies? Why did the film’s director\, George Romero\, consider Hartman to be “our celebrity . . . our showbiz cat”?\nAnd why did Hartman choose to perform under the name “Keith Wayne” for what proved to be his one and only film? All this and more will be revealed at a special History Center Halloween presentation on October 29 at 2:00 p.m.\n\nNote: The presentation will include film clips with brief scenes that some audience members may find mildly disturbing and/or somewhat gruesome. But after all\, it’s Halloween\, and zombies will be zombies!\n

SUMMARY:History of the Mansfield Dairymen’s League plant
DESCRIPTION:The Mansfield History Center on Main Street and Museum of Us in partnership with First Citizens Community Bank\, will host a special presentation on the history of the Mansfield Dairymen’s League plant in conjunction with June’s Dairy Month celebration.\n\n\nThe presentation will take place on Sunday June 25\, at the Museum of Us at 61 North Main Street in Mansfield. Free ice cream sundaes will be served at the conclusion of the presentation. The free event is sponsored by First Citizens Community Bank.\n\n\nThe special presentation will feature a history of the Dairymen’s League plant in Mansfield by Tice. Long-time Tioga County Commissioner and dairy farmer Erick Coolidge will be honored to speak of the importance of the dairy industry in Tioga County.\n\n\nThe Borough of Mansfield will also present the History Center on Main Street and Museum of Us with the original Dairymen’s League signage which hung on the outside wall of the testing room prior to the borough purchasing the building for use as the borough garage. Mansfield Mayor Kathy Barrett will present a proclamation recognizing importance of the Dairyman’s League in Mansfield’s history.\n\n\nThe Mansfield Branch of Dairymen's League Inc. was organized in the fall and winter of 1916-1917. The membership grew until Dec. 31st\, 1920 when there were 220 farmers who had\njoined the organization of the Mansfield Local.\n\n\nOct. 1\, 1920 notices were posted on the plants of the Mansfield Dairy Co.\, which then processed most of the local milk\, that they would close. This put the patrons of the plants in a position where it was necessary to find an alternative processor. A committee was appointed to interview Mr. W.D. Rose\, President of the Mansfield Dairy\, regarding processing the League patrons’ milk. It was agreed that his company take the milk and manufacture it at the expense\nof the patrons and pay the balance to them. This was for three months\, October\, November\, and December of 1920.\n\n\nWhile this was being done the Dairymen’s League members raised the money to either build plants or buy the ones owned by the Mansfield Dairy Co.\, and the deal was closed Sunday\, January 1st\, 1921. The pooling system known as the Mansfield chapter of the Dairymen’s League Cooperative Association came into being with plants in Mansfield\, Seeley Creek\, Jobs Corners\, Roseville and Mainesburg.\n\n\nIn 1969\, the Dairymen’s League Cooperative Association changed its name to the more recognizable Dairylea after its famous brand of milk.\n\n\nThe original Mansfield Condensary\, located behind the current Mansfield Plaza\, was built in October 1905 by W. D. Rose of the Mansfield Dairy Company and dismantled in 1951. The new\nmodern shipping plant was built and operated until closing October 1st\, 1961. It currently serves as the Mansfield Borough garage. The plants consisted of Mansfield\, Seeley Creek\, Jobs Corners\, Roseville and Mainesburg.\n\n\nThe History Center on Main Street and Museum of Us is located at 61 North Main Street in Mansfield\, PA.
