Join us for our Annual Meeting at the Lititz Public Library on November 15th, 2025 beginning at 1:30pm. After some brief items of business, we’ll turn the afternoon over to Lititz Historical Foundation President Cory Van Brookhoven, who will discuss the history of turnpike mile markers in Lancaster County. Generations ago, Lancaster County had ten “turnpikes” that ran through many of its towns, with small markers noting the distance at each mile. While they were once critical, today, many of these makers have been removed, destroyed, or have simply vanished from their original locations. Van Brookhoven will discuss the history of these objects and also present updates on the whereabouts of many of these important parts of our county’s history.
In addition to serving at the President of The Lititz Historical Foundation, Van Brookhoven has penned four books on Lancaster County history and has also written over 150 feature stories for the Lititz Record Express newspaper.
The presentation is free and open to the public.
Signups begin on November 1st at 9am. Beginning on that date and time, contact the Lititz Library to reserve your spot by calling 717-626-2255. Seating is limited to 100 people.
