Dillsburg Arts and Revitalization Council

We will hear from Jay Young, who established the Dillsburg Arts and Revitalization Council in 1998. Since then they have expanded and purchased the Historic Monaghan Church in Dillsburg, founded in 1745. This church is the oldest Presbyterian Church west of the Susquehanna River. Its minister, George Duffield, was called by Washington to come to Philadelphia and become the Chaplain of the Congress during the Revolutionary War. This presentation will share this story and other details about Dillsburg’s history and its role in the founding of York County and our nation.
