And last but certainly not the least of our National Heritage Area Caucus member shout outs is U.S. Representative Chrissy Houlahan. Rep. Houlahan's district includes Schuylkill River Greenways NHA and she has sponsored legislation that would have reauthorized all of Pennsylvania's NHAs.

Thank you for your support!

As the site of the Salem Witch Trials and setting of iconic movies like Hocus Pocus, it should come as no surprise that everyone in Salem, Massachusetts gets into Halloween in a big way. It’s also impossible to ignore; more than 1.5 million visitors pour into the city of only 45,000 in the weeks leading up to October 31.

Essex National Heritage Area, which is based in Salem, runs daytime boat tours on weekends called Eerie Stories, which tell true tales of strange happenings on the high seas. This year for the first time, Essex NHA is also telling land-based Eerie Stories at the Armory Visitor Center. These are true tales of local pirates and treasure seekers.

Thanks to Essex NHA for providing a few pictures to set the scene. Happy Halloween!

Many thanks to our amazing hosts last week - Susquehanna National Heritage Area!The first national Thanksgiving was proclaimed in York, Pennsylvania. We learned that at last week’s Alliance of National Heritage Areas Fall Meeting.

In the fall of 1777, the British held Philadelphia, and the Continental Congress had moved to York. On October 31, word arrived of the American victory at Saratoga, in New York, where a British army had surrendered. It was a turning point in the war and helped persuade France to join on the American side.

The next day, November 1, 1777, Congress called for a national day of thanksgiving and praise, to be observed on December 18.

Seeing York with our hosts at Susquehanna National Heritage Area brought that history closer. Every heritage area has a story like this. Southern Maryland has plenty of its own.

Here’s a photo we took during our visit of the 1754 Colonial Courthouse (reconstructed in 1976) in York where this proclamation was made.
