For some, it was like yesterday. For others, they never lived through it. But on March 23, generations of all ages are invited to learn about the days when the steel mill was king.

The Beaver Falls CDC is presenting a speaking series entitled “Stories Of The Steel Mills”, a three-part series that showcases multiple perspectives about life and work in the mills that once adorned Beaver County’s roads and rivers. Wendy Whelpley, the Executive Director of the BFCDC, joined Matt Drzik to discuss this series on the March 16 edition of A.M. Beaver County.

Whelpley spoke about the importance of telling these stories and preserving its honest history, as well as the possible effects it may have on those who are continuing to understand the spiritual landscape of places like Beaver Falls. The series will be held at the Carnegie Free Library in Beaver Falls on March 23, April 6, and April 20 (all Wednesdays) at 7 PM.
