County Genealogy if your looking for
your ancestors from Crawford County this is the place to
look!
John Brown Farmin Pre-Civil War Crawford County, Pennsylvania,
the farm of the great abolitionist John Brown played a strategic role
in the Underground Railroad. Disbursing "depots" in the
area, John Brown aided in the passing of an estimated 2,500 slaves. In
the town of New Richmond, his farm and tannery was a major stop on the
Railroad, marking its place in history from 1825 to 1835. The farm,
now a museum, proves to be an educational, exhilarating experience as
you learn more about this great man of history and his many heroic efforts. Tour the remnants of the tannery and take a walking path to
the cemetery. (Wear comfortable walking shoes.) Plan a visit during
the first weekend in May, and you can share in the "Spirit of
Freedom" picnic, a community celebration in honor of John Brown's
birthday (May 9). There is also a gift shop allowing visitors to take
a piece of that experience with them to cherish for a lifetime. Open
from April 15 to October 15, and in the winter by appointment only.

Lake
ErieLake Erie is the smallest of
the Great Lakes in volume (119 cubic miles) and is exposed to the greatest effects from urbanization and agriculture. Measuring 241
miles across and 57 miles from north to south, the lake's surface is
just under 10,000 square miles, with 871 miles of shoreline. The
average depth of Lake Erie is only about 62 feet (210 feet, maximum).
It therefore warms rapidly in the spring and summer, and frequently
freezes over in winter. The drainage basin covers parts of Indiana,
Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and Ontario. Because of its fertile soils, the basin is intensively farmed and is the most densely
populated of the five lake basins.
