With rousing musical performances by the King Street Big Band and the Victory Bells Trio, local actors will take to the stage to bring the war years to life.

Regional History Colloquium
Lancaster's Music Man, John Piersol McCaskey
It’s said that legendary Lancaster educator John McCaskey was so fond of Christmas Carols that he sang them all year round. He was among the first to collect and publish songs in books for the public in the 19th century, and sold hundreds of thousands of them. Local author Delores Parsil, a retired McCaskey High School teacher, will discuss McCaskey’s contributions to American music, just how deeply his love for Christmas music ran, and his special connection to Jolly Old St. Nicholas.
