Do you remember the fire at Rubinson's in 1964?

If you have been to visit us recently, you may have seen a display with some photos we were trying to identify. The mystery has now been solved, thanks to Luke Weaver and Paul Burkholder.

These photos show where the ashes from the fire were deposited: at an abandoned quarry along Snyder Drive just north of town. Two of the men have been identified as Jonas Hoover and Edward Martin.

On Thursday evening, we had the privilege of hearing an excellent talk on the Indigenous inhabitants of the New Holland Area by Jenean Finely. She taught us about the pre-contact evidence of local Natives, what the population and landscape would have looked like when European settlers arrived, what is known of the interactions and migrations of people during the early years of contact, and more. I hope everyone enjoyed it much as we did!
