America's Historic Towns will bring its audience nostalgia, intrigue, and adventure. As a soothing romp through America’s history, with frequent ‘then and now’ shots to show the effects of time on the architecture and community development. The show will bring to light the interesting, yet often little-known history of the towns that made America what it is today. Join me on our first journey to my hometown of Manheim, Pennsylvania - a beautiful little country town established in 1762 by an eccentric German glass maker, Henry William Stiegel.
Images of America: Manheim, written by April Lynn Downey, can be found at local Manheim stores and online at Amazon, Arcadia Publishing, and Barnes & Noble
