Clay Kilgore, executive director and curator of the Washington County Historical Society, returns to be the guest speaker at the Monday, April 17 program meeting of the Charleroi Area Historical Society.
His topic will be ‘The Stone Quarry of Washington County.’ This was a new adventure for Kilgore, who did research on the stone quarry, one which provided stone for many of the buildings in and around the county, including some in Charleroi. Come and find out more about this stone quarry and how it impacted the growth of the economy in and throughout Washington County.
Program President and Coordinator Ken Thompson is happy to announce that on May 15, the topic will be ‘Remembering Isaly's.’ Jay Ramsey of the Monongahela Historical Society, whose father managed the Isaly's store in Monongahela, brings much personal knowledge and experience of the history of the iconic ice cream and chipped ham gathering place so many of us fondly remember. When is the last time you had a Sky Scraper ice cream cone? Ramsey's presentation is filled with nostalgia and facts you may never have known about Isaly's.
