What, When, and Now
presented by Bart Van Valkenburgh
|
A “mystery” photo provided by George Pyle, Jr.
Bart described his intriguing process of identifying the location, content, and time frame of a variety
of historic photographs, while also considering what has changed since the photo was taken, and what might be there now.
He combines his broad and deep knowledge of local history with a detective's zeal for getting to the bottom
of a story using a wide range of research tools, and adds a grain or two of good humor along the way.
Bart Van Valkenburgh is Vice President and Program Chair of the Tredyffrin Easttown Historical Society,
chairman of the Willistown Township Historical Commission, a member of the Paoli Battlefield Preservation Fund board of directors,
a member of the Paoli Memorial Association, and a board member of the Bartram Bridge Joint Preservation Commission.
He is an active historian and has prepared and presented numerous informative and entertaining
programs for a variety of organizations.
