Dr. Frank Muzopappa,
Professor Emeritus from Kutztown University, will visit the Mary H. Weir
Library on Saturday, November 9th to discuss life in the
southwestern Pennsylvania coal mining town of Penowa during the 1930s and 1940s.
Penowa was located along Cross Creek and the Wabash Railroad Line just over the
state line from Cliftonville and Virginville. Dr. Muzopappa, who grew up in
Penowa, has gathered photographs and memories of the town to create a 288 page
book, A Penowa O. The program will begin at 2:00 in the library’s activity
room.
