Franklin County Visitors Bureau Celebrates AppleFest in Downtown Chambersburg at the 11/30 Visitors Center

The Franklin County 11/30 Visitors Center celebrates AppleFest in downtown Chambersburg on October 19 with a presentation about Martin Delany by author Bob O'Connor. The talk will be held in the second-floor Great Room, overlooking Memorial Square, at 2 PM.

Martin Delany, who was the highest ranking African-American field officer of the Civil War, lived on South Main Street in Chambersburg and attended school nearby. In addition to serving in the Civil War, Delany was a physician and author. He also worked with Frederick Douglass to co-publish the newspaper North Star.

O'Connor authored more than 15 non-fiction and historical fiction books with a focus on American history leading up to and encompassing the Civil War. He shares his interest and knowledge of this period in a podcast called the "The Chronicles of the American Civil War." More info here.

AppleFest is the annual, autumn celebration of apples, one of Franklin County's major crops. The festival opens at 9 AM, closes at 4 PM, and includes more than 100 vendors of crafts, arts, food, music and fun for the kids. In addition to the Delany presentation, the 11/30 Visitors Center will be playing five videos in the "video vault," offer a children's fall-fun activity, and be showcasing new exhibits in the lobby. Main Street stores will have specials and sales.
