Description

Chester County, Pennsylvania, is arguably one of the more historic and naturally beautiful places in the United States. While much has changed since colonial days, when its abundant natural resources helped support a nation-to-be, visible reminders of past activities remain intermingled with elements of 21st century progress and growth. Some of the reminders are simply names, ghosts of times past when travel was slow, crossroads mattered and distances between activities necessarily were shorter than today. Others are visible — buildings, farms, and ruins — in the context of a photogenic countryside. The 130 color photographs form a memorable journey through the countryside, artfully capturing bits and pieces of its history, and giving glimpses of its present-day character.
