GSP had a behind-the-scenes tour of the Mercer Museum library in Bucks County earlier this week. Look at the gem one of our members found! This is the indenture record of her 7th great grandfather to Grace Langhorne, who was part of the Langhorne family which the town is named after.

Would you like to join us for an archive tour? GSP members get an invitation in their emails before the general public. The June tour will be at the Philadelphia City Archives.
