A Trip Back In Time
Presenter: Emily Kilby
Sunday, May 15, 2022, 2 PM
FREE, NO ADMISSION
The Calvert Grange is happy to provide complimentary event space for this local educational historical presentation, which is sponsored by the Rising Sun Historical Preservation group.
Hit the road from Harrisville south to meet some notable figures and memorable events from four centuries past. Along this roadway, once busy with Port Deposit-Lancaster County commerce, lived a state legislator, a Hessian mercenary turned Revolutionary patriot turned hosteler, Abraham Lincoln's relatives, a famed Quaker preacher/orator and the educator of two signers of the Declaration of Independence. Tradesmen and shops lined the road, a brickyard turned out the building materials for the houses that endure to this day and the first railroad to serve the area stopped nearby. Two West Nottingham churches—one a Friends meetinghouse, the other Presbyterian—anchored the community, and in their burying grounds you‘ll find all the community notables … except for that Hessian fellow who lies in a family cemetery just off Harrisville Road.

Free Soil Testing & Open House at the Calvert Grange
Wednesday, April 20, 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM
SPECIAL UPDATE FOR FREE SOIL TESTING:
Special instructions due to our recent rains:
1. Collect 1/2 cup soil (ideally from 12" down, but if you can't dig that deep, we can work with what you collect).
2. Place your soil in a paper towel and squeeze out the moisture a few times.
3. Spread soil out flat to aid in drying.
4. Don't place the soil in a baggie until you are about to leave your home.
Come out and meet the members of
the Calvert Grange. Learn about the Grange while enjoying some refreshments. If you're planning to garden this season, take advantage of our free soil testing during the Open House! Tests will provide information on nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAMPLE: Bring a half cup of soil. The best samples will come from soil 12" below the surface (but if you are unable to dig quite that deep, do what you can). The soil should be dry; a little moisture is fine. Very wet soil will not yield proper results.
