Everett is fortunate to have many things | News

Everett is fortunate to have a college facility on-site, and that facility is fortunate to have Leah Pepple as the director of ACM’s Pa. Advancement and Community Relations, a position for which she received an Excellence Award at the Allegeny College of Maryland Innovation Conference in March. She has been with ACM since 2002.

Congratulations to Regina Williams, Bedford County Historical Society’s Historian of the Year. Our neighbor in Southampton is a busy historian who keeps his society active on pressures and activities. She was instrumental in the restoration of the Point Pleasant School, which is opposite the former Chaneysville Grade School. It looks good. This honor is well deserved.

Everett’s participation in Bedford’s 250th anniversary celebration includes an extensive poster-board presentation of Bloody Run history in photos and news articles posted in the Everett Free Library and the Everett Railroad and Community Museum. The collection is being prepared by BRHS volunteer Barbara Miller.

A new Lincoln Highway Experience project is A Sunday Drive Through Everett, which can be found on www.lhhc.org, to bring back memories of places like the Everett (Stucky) Theater and the igloo in front of it Eisbecher, the Union Hotel, whose cellar once served as a prison, and more, with some origins.

The Everett Free Library will return Children’s Story Time starting May 7th at 11 a.m.

The Everett Railroad and Community Museum is now open every Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. A preview can be found at www.bloodyrunhistory.org. The group meets at the museum on the first Monday of the month at 5 p.m. and welcomes anyone interested in maintaining the history of this community.

The Bloody Run Historical Society is grateful for the Saturday afternoon historian Larry Smith spent at the RR Museum discussing history, and in particular the Bedford 250 Sestercentennial. The Company now plans to have Everett attend this event.
