Old School Baptists in Southampton
Southampton Baptist Church, also known as the Old School Baptist Meetinghouse, is the oldest Baptist Church in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Located in Southampton, the Church can trace its origins to a dispute in 1691 between George Keith, a prominent Quaker, and the Society of Friends. Keith was of the opinion that the Friends should adopt a profession of Faith, while many members of the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting opposed. This dispute eventually led to Keith and his followers, known as "Keithians," to worship separate from the Friends. Tuesday, 11/10/15 4:55 pm

West Nantmeal Historical Commission
Located in the northwest section of Chester County, West Nantmeal Township is a small, rural community with an interesting history. The area was originally populated by settlers from Radnorshire, Wales between 1700 and 1710. The settlers named the area Nantmell, or Natmel, meaning “sweet water” or “land of the sweet stream” in Welsh. In 1739, the area was divided into East and West Nantmeal. Yet again, in 1789, West Nantmeal was once more divided, with Welsh settlers remaining in West Nantmeal and Scotch-Irish community in the area that became Honey Brook Township.

Facial Hair at The Historical Society of Frankford
Over the past few years, mustaches and beards have made a comeback as the must-have facial hair accessory. Handlebar, English, Walrus, and Imperial mustaches, to name a few, grace the faces of men young and old on today’s streets and screens. However, many of these facial accessories pale in comparison to the hirsute men of the Historical Society of Frankford. Within their collections, one can find some truly inspiring mustachioed and bearded men. Organized in 1905 and chartered in 1920, The Historical Society of Frankford is located in the Frankford neighborhood of Northeast Philadelphia. Tuesday, 9/1/15 2:43 pm
