July 7
The Summer Speakers Series continues with another blockbuster presentation.
Author Kathryn Canavan will discuss her experiences as a young reporter during the terrifying ten days, fifty years ago, when two horrible murder scenes were discovered just miles apart. Six people and a dog were brutally murdered in the Abt home in Trevose around the same time that Mr. and Mrs. Vogenberger were killed in their home on what is now Langhorne Heritage Farm. Anyone who lived here during that time will remember the shockwaves that this sent through our area. Ms. Canavan has written a compelling new book about these events, called "Killer in the House."
Location: The Richardson House, corner of W. Maple and S. Bellevue Avenues
Doors open at 7 PM. Presentation begins at 7:30 PM.
SEATING IS LIMITED. THIS IS A TICKETED EVENT. ORDER YOUR TICKETS IN ADVANCE TO BE SURE OF A SEAT. https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/killer-in-the-house-kathryn-canavan

Our Summer Speakers Series presentation is all about theater!
Ken and Amy Kaissar, co-directors of the Bristol Riverside Theatre, will share a bit of the history of this theater on the Delaware River, and will take us behind the scenes to reveal what goes into making a play -- from script selection to auditions to scenery and more! If you've ever been to a show at BRT, you know it can be magical, but so much goes on before the curtain opens that the audience never sees.

Our Summer Speakers Series presentation on August 4 is all about Langhorne.
Our offering to the Langhorne150 celebration is entitled "A Love Letter to Langhorne." Longtime Langhorne resident Rachel Dorsey Wallace will share her memoir of growing up in Langhorne. Her family roots in this area go back severn generations! She was the first African American cheerleader at Langhorne-Middletown High School (precursor of Neshaminy High). She ran track, played field hockey, and was president of the student council. And...well, we'll let Rachel tell you the rest of her recollections of her growing-up years in the town she loves.
