Synopsis

During Beaver Falls' first 150 years, residents of the town built it into a self-supporting community committed to family values.

Initially known as Brighton before its incorporation, after it became Beaver Falls, the town saw extensive industrial development, and the city was described as "one of the most well-established manufacturing towns in western Pennsylvania." Carefully preserved images from the Beaver Falls Historical Society are combined with revealing and informative text, and this fascinating history includes some of the homes and businesses of early Beaver Falls families, as well as the railroad, canal, and river that connected the town to the rest of the state. Newly discovered images and sources of the community's history make this book a rare and timeless keepsake.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

In 1945, several residents formed the Beaver Falls Historical Society. Fifty-five years later, another group of Beaver Falls residents has come together in the same spirit of preservation to compile an unprecedented pictorial history that chronicles the unique story of Beaver Falls and its people. Released just in time for the 200th Anniversary celebrations, Beaver Falls is a fitting tribute to a cherished community.
