Never to be Forgotten

Did you know that many of America’s Founding Fathers visited York County for nine months during the Revolutionary War and that thousands of Confederate soldiers occupied the county before the Battle of Gettysburg? Did you know that county companies gained national acclaim for pooling resources to support troops in World War II? “Never to be Forgotten” provides 20 minutes of fast-paced stories and photos sampled from the county’s history.

The county’s rich heritage offers more moments than can be captured on any 10—or 100—videos. For viewers who want to learn more, the book “Never to be Forgotten” supplements this video. James McClure of the York Daily Record wrote the 224-page book, published by the Daily Record and the York Newspaper Co. Also, the Historical Society of York County offers many fine resources for the study of county history.
