The Connellsville Area Historical Society has added, in recent years, a Dinner-Lecture event as part of our Annual Braddock’s Crossing of the Yough event. This year due to being unable to schedule the dinner-lecture during the same week-end as the Crossing, the lecture will be held on Friday, August 15, 2025 at the Somerset Trust Railroad Station. The event will begin at 6:00 pm.

This year the lecture will be Brady J. Crytzer, History Professor at Robert Morris University. Mr. Crytzer is a Specialist in Frontier History of North America. He also is an Associate Editor of the Journal of the American Revolution. At the August event, the title of his lecture is; THE WHISKEY REBELLION – A DISTILLED HISTORY OF AN AMERICAN CRISIS ,based upon his volume of the same name. This rebellion had a definite impact on Connellsville.

The menu for the evening is a plated Roast Beef Dinner with salad and dessert. The cost for the dinner and lecture will be $30.00 per person. You may order tickets by sending a check to the Connellsville Area Historical Society at 1103 Isabella Road, Connellsville, PA 15425. The seating is limited, so send your check soon. Your tickets will be sent to you upon receiving payment for the event.

We would appreciate your support in bringing gifted speakers to our community to discuss local history, and show your support for the efforts of the Connellsville Area Historical Society to preserve, protect, and share Connellsville Area History.

Message: I grew up in connnellsville. Spent 20 years of my life there. While i was there i must admit i thought i hated it. But once i got out and have had a chance to see the world i realize we have a very special little city. There is nothing like it i've been too. I do miss it dearly but im sure im partial do to the fact that i grew up there. It's nice to get a little more history of our city. It would be nice if they would go more indepth in CAHS on the history of Connellsville. Can't wait to move back and maybe see some more history made.... Semper Fi
