Patriots’ Path: Explore the Revolutionary War in Cumberland Valley, Pennsylvania invites visitors to follow the footsteps of soldiers, settlers, artisans, and citizen-leaders who transformed a frontier county into a revolutionary center of action. From military training grounds to iron furnaces, from political meeting halls to homesteads supplying the Continental Army, this trail reveals how Cumberland County’s geography, industry, and people played an indispensable role in America’s fight for independence. This is not a trail of single moments. It is a story of a community whose strength, ingenuity, and determination helped form a nation.

Your Invitation to the 92nd Richardson-Miller Family Reunion....
Here are also the minutes from the 1951 reunion.... which they incorrectly labeled as the "eleventh" reunion. The reunion actually started in 1934.

Please share! A decision was made to move the date of the Brownawell / Brownewell Reunion to September (this was discussed at the 2025 Reunion) as the past several years our attendance has been hindered due to the high heat and we are concerned for the safety of our reunion-goers. Please also note of the CORRECTED place change!
