Building SRV – A Rose Valley Story – Video

2024-12-01T20:09:39-05:00December 1st, 2024|Video & Interactive|

“Building SRV”

A Rose Valley Story

This lecture will take you down one of the historical paths of Rose Valley.  Carl Finkbeiner, photographer, RVMHS and (past) SRV board member will present a talk about The School in Rose Valley.  The stories that the buildings of The School in Rose Valley (SRV) have to tell about the institution and what it shares with its enveloping Rose Valley community are more remarkable than most people know.  If you only know SRV or if you only know Rose Valley, or maybe even if you think you know both, you will find that the buildings’ stories have a lot to teach us about hidden histories and connections that will only deepen your appreciation of the two.

“Darby Quakers & The Underground Railroad”

Living Values in an Intentional Community

Harold Finigan, Historic Preservationist and Educator, will discuss how the people of Delaware County worked against the immoral nature of slavery. During the growth of this country some saw slaves as the answer to do all the hard work that was needed to build a nation. Some, however, who had bought into the ideas of freedom & Penn’s Holy Experiment, saw slavery as inconsistent with these ideas. A portion of those who held that view worked outside the system, while others worked within the system to convince their brethren that slave-holding was inconsistent with the Golden Rule.
