An announcement has come from Lahn Kopp of the Berrysburg Borough Council, Berrysburg, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, that a new web site, Berrysburg.org, was launched in 2017.
The site has pages featuring meetings, history, government, documents, community, news, calendar of events, and contact information.
A screen capture of the history page is shown above. There are links to relevant historical societies and a photo archive. A statement of historical importance of Berrysburg is also included:
“The plan of the town was like that of a typical German village in which each owner had a small plot of ground sufficient for raising food and keeping livestock. Hence, one could live on a farm in Berrysburg or establish a business or trade to accommodate the residents of the area.” [From the Historical Book of Berrysburg and Mifflin Township printed by the Sunbury Daily Item, Sunbury, Pennsylvania in 1969.]
Presently featured on the history page is an undated photo of Foster’s Store on the Berrysburg Square.
As Berrysburg and Mifflin Township prepare for their 2019 Bicentennial, meetings and events will be regularly posted. Lahn Kopp, who is also the web site administrator, is seeking photographs to post.
