🎉 A Well-Deserved Honor for Our Hometown Historian! 🎉
While our Shirley is enjoying a well-earned family vacation, we couldn't let this special moment pass without celebrating her remarkable achievement! | On June 19, 2026, the *Bucks County Courier Times* recognized Shirley Lee Corsey as one of the most prominent figures in Bucks County history as part of its USA250 series. | This article by Michele Haddon of the *Bucks County Courier Times* and USA TODAY Network, Shirley's dedication to preserving and sharing history was highlighted alongside other notable individuals who have helped shape Bucks County's legacy.

Here at Gather Place, we're proudly "holding down the fort" while Shirley is away and are thrilled to share this exciting news with our community. This recognition reflects years of unwavering commitment to preserving the stories of Yardley Borough, the Historic AME Church of Yardley, the Underground Railroad, and the often-overlooked contributions of African Americans and women to our local and national history. | Shirley's work reminds us that history is not just about dates and events—it's about people, communities, and the stories that deserve to be remembered and shared with future generations.

Please join us in congratulating Shirley on this well-deserved recognition! 👏❤️
