Love is in the air at the Wilder Museum of Warren County History! Mark and Linda Eberl are on duty today! See where they first met when the building was the Irvine School. Stop by the museum at 51 Erie Avenue, Irvine, PA, this week on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 1 to 5 PM. We will be closed on Saturday for the holiday.
Their sign reads: It was on this very spot in the hallway of the Irvine Elementary School in early March of 1973 that Linda Pearson, a student art teacher from Edinboro, met Mark Eberl, the fifth grade teacher at Irvine School.
Three years later, on June 19, 1976, to be exact, Mark and Linda were united in marriage in Youngsville, PA. They raised two amazing children, Jason and Jamie. Eventually they retired and Mr. and Mrs. Eberl continue to live in Warren County... happily ever after.💖
