HARBORCREEK HISTORICAL SOCIETY
In October , students from the Greener Behrend Club volunteered to help with the fall clean-up of the Gospel Hill Burial Ground . The burial ground has been under the care of the Harborcreek Historical Society since 1996 and is a significant part of area history .
The 10 students helped clear sticks and leaves so that the cemetery could be mowed , lessening the landscaping cost . The historical society has continued to work on cleaning and preserving the area , which is the final resting place for Thomas Rees , a Revolutionary War hero and one of the first settlers of Erie before making his home in Harborcreek Township .
The society is based in the historical Gifford-Blanchfield House on Buffalo Road . To view this home and its many artifacts , you may make an appointment by calling 814.899.4447 , or emailing harborcreekhistory @ gmail . com .
To keep up with events , follow the society on Facebook at facebook . com / HarborcreekHistoricalSociety .
