GDG- Pennypacker Mills This weekend

[128thpa at comcast.net]

For the first time in over 8 years, the Pennypacker Mills Civil War reunion is NOT the same weekend as the GDG muster.  It will be this coming weekend and if you do come - please say hello.  I am usually all over the place, but one place you can find me is in the barn introducing the speakers each day.

The CW reunion at Pennypacker Mills in Schwenksville, Pa, will be held June May 31-June 1.  The site is at 5 Haldeman Rd, check out www.historicsites.montcopa.org  or call 610-287-9349
PPM was the home of former Pa Governor Samuel Pennypacker. Pennypacker served in 
the 26th Pa emergency unit at Gettysburg.  The home was also the headquarters of 
George Washington before and after the battle of Germantown.  Pennypacker is 
also the cousin of Galusha Pennypacker, youngest Union General.  The Governor 
was a collector of CW memorabilia which is on display at the house.
For further info, please contact me privately.
