KU ra I rexperiencie
program scheduled
Working under a grant
from the Public Committee
for the Humanities in PennSylvania, John L. Marsh and
Karl E.Nordberg, both on the
faculty at Edinboro State
College, have organized a
; day-long public program, to
! j be held in the auditorium of
? Miller Learning Center, with
i registration and coffee
beginning at9:30 a.m. on July
25th.
At 10 a.m. the event begins
with a well-illustrated look at
the Todd Goodell farm,
Waterford Street Extension,
Edinboro. The only example
locally of a late Victorian
farm, it preserves the look as
well as many of the artifacts
associated with farming in
the golden age of American
agriculture. As such, the
farm helps to define the way
of life in and about Edinboro
was 75 years ago.
The second phase of the
program looks at farmings
today in the area. Featured
are farms owned and
operated by the George
Fellows/ Jim Skelton and
Vere Woods families. These
individuals will be on hand to
articulate the farmers’ point
of view and to envision
agricultural land use in the
years immediately ahead.
One of thd highlights of this
session will be a slide
presentation that follows
activity on the farms in
question since spring plan­
ting began.
Following lunch at Van
Houton Dining Hall, a session
is devoted to the farm of
tomorrow, a presentation
especially prepared by Milt
Simpson of the Agriculture'
Council of America. At its
conclusion there will be an
opportunity to visit area
farms and the day concludes
