Paxtang Park

Paxtang Park is a hiking and mountain biking park in East Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and Paxtang, Pennsylvania. It is a part of the Capital Area Greenbelt. It was formerly a 40-acre (160,000 m2) trolley park. It existed as a trolley park from 1823 to 1929, and reopened as a hiking park in 2020. The trolley park contained two roller coasters, Coaster Flyer and Jack Rabbit. History "Old" Paxtang Park - 1893-1922 Paxtang Park was leased to the East Harrisburg Street Electric Railway Company from the Rutherford Estate on July 19, 1893, initially for a ten-year term. Plans included constructing a fence surrounding the property (though the park would retain its free entry policy), a pavilion with a capacity of several hundred people, benches, and a "gravity railroad" (scenic railway). The only one of these planned additions which was not constructed was the gravity railroad. It wasn't until 1905 that the park added its first roller coaster, Coaster Flyer. This was a figure 8 roller coaster, and it operated from 1905 to 1922. The owners did not build a dancing pavilion, and they banned the sale of liquor to avoid "undesirable patronage". "New" Paxtang Park - 1923-1929 In 1922, the railroad company announced they would not renew the lease on the grounds of Paxtang Park for a fourth lease after having renewed it twice in 1903 and 1913. They were no longer able to afford the costs of operating the park, so they announced 1922 would be the final season of Paxtang Park. However, in August, Kerstetter Amusement Company of Newark, New Jersey obtained new ownership of the lease from the railroad company. Owner Thomas Kerstetter pledged many improvements to the park, including an additional roller coaster, an airplane swing, a carousel, a new Ferris wheel, and a dancing pavilion. Kerstetter intended to turn the park into a true amusement park destination. The park had some success, but by the late 1920s, it struggled to open before the Fourth of July, when in past years it opened before Memorial Day. The owners were missing tax payments. 1929 was its final season and by 1930, Steelton Bank and Trust took control of the property, and sold off the amusements and other items. Reopening Beginning in 2017, the Susquehanna Area Mountain Bike Association (SAMBA) announced plans to restore the park as a trailhead and picnic area, connecting to the Capital Area Greenbelt. Ten miles of trails used for hiking and mountain biking are currently located on the Capital Area Greenbelt and maintained by SAMBA. Paxtang Park was formally reopened in September 2020.

Église Saint-Adalbert de Philadelphie

L'église Saint-Adalbert est une église catholique située dans la ville de Philadelphie en Pennsylvanie, construite pour les immigrés polonais dans le style gothique polonais. Elle se trouve dans le quartier de Port Richmond au no 2645 E. Allegheny Avenue (au coin de l'Allegheny Avenue et de la Thompson Street). Historique Avant la construction, les Polonais se réunissaient dans la crypte de l'église Notre-Dame-Secours-des-Chrétiens qui desservait les germanophones, située à côté à Gaul Street. L'église a été fondée en novembre 1903, et terminée en 1909, afin de servir la grande communauté immigrée polonaise de Philadelphie qui habitait à Port Richmond. Les fonds pour la construction ont été réunis par les familles elles-mêmes, dont celle d'Andrew Bogielczyk qui possédait une épicerie au no 2421 Allegheny Avenue, lieu de rencontre de la communauté polonaise et qui fit don des premiers 25 000 $ nécessaires au démarrage de la construction. L'abbé Monkiewicz fut nommé le premier curé de la paroisse et y servit jusqu'à sa mort survenue le 3 juin 1946. La messe était célébrée comme partout ailleurs en latin, tandis que le sermon et les activités pastorales étaient en polonais. Aujourd'hui, la liturgie et toutes les activités pastorales sont en anglais, mais une des messes matinales du dimanche est encore célébrée moitié en polonais moitié en anglais. École St. Adalbert La paroisse ouvre dès ses débuts une école paroissiale, la St. Adalbert School, près de l'église. Les frais de scolarité mensuels étaient minimes : cinquante cents pour le premier enfant, vingt-cinq pour le deuxième et à partir du troisième, il n'y avait aucuns frais. En même temps, les parents payaient un denier du culte annuel, en tant que paroissiens de Saint-Adalbert. Les livres et les fournitures scolaires étaient payés par les parents, mais pouvaient être transmis ensuite aux écoliers plus jeunes. Il y avait huit classes d'âge pour le primaire. La plupart des cours étaient en polonais au début et surtout le catéchisme et les études bibliques. Rapidement l'anglais est introduit dans les matières profanes. Les leçons étaient données par les religieuses de la congrégation de la Sainte-Famille-de-Nazareth qui portaient une longue tenue noire et un long voile noir descendant en bas du dos et avec un col blanc et un grand plastron blanc amidonné. Elles portaient aussi un grand crucifix de métal sur le devant et un rosaire noir au côté. Les classes - mixtes - comportaient jusqu'à cinquante écoliers. Dans les années 1930, l'enseignement en anglais devient prépondérant. Aujourd'hui, les institutrices sont laïques et l'école se nomme Our Lady of Port Richmond Regional School.

Bethel Presbyterian Church (Bethel Park, Pennsylvania)

Bethel Presbyterian Church is a Presbyterian Church located in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania. It operates under the Presbyterian Church U.S.A. denomination under the Synod of the Trinity and the Pittsburgh Presbytery. The adjacent cemetery holds the remains of 14 Revolutionary War soldiers from the area. The municipality of Bethel Park was named after the church. The church was founded by Rev. John McMillan, the first Presbyterian missionary west of the Allegheny Mountains, during his third missionary trip. The origins of the Bethel Presbyterian Church date to November 5, 1776, when McMillan preached and baptized 5 children at Peter's Creek. Early services were held at a log house owned by Oliver Miller. The Peter's Creek congregation grew and later split into an Eastern Division and the Western Division. In 1785 or 1786, the Eastern Division was renamed Lebanon and the Western Division was renamed Bethel. In 1808, Oliver Miller's son James added a stone section to the right of his father's log house and in 1830 he and his son Oliver replaced the log house with a new stone section, now known as the Oliver Miller Homestead. A number of members of Bethel Presbyterian Church played roles in the Whiskey Rebellion. On July 15, 1794, shots were fired as federal officers served a warrant on William Miller, a Bethel church member and the last man that day in Allegheny County to receive a warrant for failure to register his still, the first violent event of the Whiskey Rebellion. After that incident, a crowd gathered. Reverend Clark, McMillan's successor, tried to dissuade the band: Brethren, fellow citizens and friends, I have come to raise my feeble voice against the business of the day. Duty, conscience, my office, the spirit of our Divine Lord and Master, a high and loving concern for your temporal and spiritual good, all compel me to warn you not to persist in your hostile purpose. You are in the way of rebellion, and rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft. Clark's pleas was ultimately unsuccessful, and the group advanced upon General John Neville's house, burning it to the ground, a confrontation known as Battle of Bower Hill. The modern incarnation of the church was officially incorporated on March 11, 1907. The current building was completed May 1910. In 1951, the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission erected a historical marker, noting its connection to Rev. John McMillan and its historic importance.
