Henry Family History

The Morning Call has a nice feature on the Henry family history in Sunday's paper (read it here).

The feature includes a time line and explanation of how the family made it from Lancaster to Nazareth and then to Jacobsburg and explains the role of each successive generation.

The article also notes that this coming Saturday and Sunday:
several hundred re-enactors will gather for a pre-1840 American fur trade rendezvous featuring black powder rifle shooting, tomahawk throwing, blacksmithing, open hearth cooking, Native American crafts and more. Society board member Dave Ehrig said the rendezvous is an opportunity for local residents to visit the Boulton historic site and see what life was like during the height of Henry gunmaking.
