SUMMARY:The Return of the Fire Dragon
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Durham Historical Society as it presents “Durham Furnace II\, 1848-1908 – The Return of the Fire Dragon”\, the story of the second Durham Furnace. Jim Walter\, a Society Board member and local expert on the Durham Furnace will tell the story of what happened after the original furnace (on which foundation the current mill was built) was no longer in service. Many historians have indicated that Durham played an important role in the start of the American Industrial Revolution and Jim’s remarks buttress that idea by relating how influential industrialists took control of the furnace operations and confronted the many problems and opportunities of the time when coal\, iron and steel were kings. \nThe presentation will be made on July 28th at 2:00 in the Durham Mill. Members are free. Non-members $5.00. Light refreshments will be served following the presentation and questions from the audience are welcome.

SUMMARY:History of Letterpress
DESCRIPTION:It’s hard to imagine with the technology we have available today\, but not so many years ago the printing of books\, notices\, newspapers etc.\, were all accomplished through the art of letterpress. This involved setting metal or wood type in a frame\, coating it with a thin film of ink and applying it to a sheet of paper with the help of a mechanical press. 30 years ago the art was considered dead but it was brought back to life by people like Rebecca Kutys of Riegelsville. Rebecca lovingly restored some old presses (some dating back to the 1800’s) and now has a successful business\, Moontree Letterpress in Riegelsville where she designs and produces exquisite wedding invitations and the like. \nJoin Rebecca on July 27th at the Durham Mill from 11:00 to 1:00 as she presents a program\, demonstration and mini-workshop on the History of Letterpress. Participants will be able to (with Rebecca’s assistance) prepare and print a bookmark of their own featuring the Durham Boat. All proceeds of the program will go to the Mill’s restoration fund. Cost of the program is a $25.00 donation per person with a limit of 20 participants. The first 20 people to submit their registration form and donation will have a spot reserved for them. Payment can be made online through PayPal or credit card at the Historical Society’s website (durhamhistoricalsociety.org/membership) or by sending a check with the form below to Durham Historical Society\, P.O. Box 52\, Durham\, PA 18039. Please include a comment referencing the Letterpress Workshop with either mode of payment. For online payments please fill in the amount of $25 in the Mill Restoration Contribution field. \n \n  \n……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… \nHistory of Letterpress \nName: ____________________________________________ \nAddress: ________________________________________________________________ \nPhone: _______________________ email: ___________________________________
