May 1, 2010 Chester Heights Historical Society celebrated
its first annual Country Fair with fun, food, historical displays
and much, much more! There were local artists, local produce,
colonial demonstrations by the Bethel
Township Historical Society, and a visit by
Blackbeard and the Plankhouse Crew Pirates
from Marcus Hook.“We not just celebrated
the rich history of Chester Heights, but we explored the historical
significance of the areas of Wawa, Logtown, and the surrounding
communities of Aston, Bethel,
Concord and Marcs Hook,” said Country
Fair organizer, Kathleen Killion. “We have a lot of
history to share here in Chester Heights, and we’re
planning on making it fun for all ages.” |
Who are the Plankhouse Crew?
Marcus Hook is a small
borough located on the Delaware River in the very southeastern-most
corner of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Because it is located
on the water, it shares a rich history that connects to everything
nautical.
The Marcus Hook Preservation Society is spearheading an effort
to explore and expose the details of events that transpires and
what life was like here during the last four centuries.
In that spirit, the Plankhouse Crew was created to bring attention
to the area, create events that promote it and inspire people
to learn more about history.
We are organized as a naval crew with Commodore Hornswagglle leading
two ship’s crews. The first is the Crew of the Black Rose
which is helmed by Captain Blackbeard. The other is the Crew of
the Queen Anne’s Revenge whose captain is Stede Bonnet.
These crews include many locals who want to promote living history
and have fun while doing it. There are several positions available
for anyone interested in participating. Visit www.plankhousecrew.com
