Autorenporträt
In 1945, several residents formed the Beaver Falls Historical Society. Fifty-five years later, another group of Beaver Falls residents has come together in the same spirit of preservation to compile an unprecedented pictorial history that chronicles the unique story of Beaver Falls and its people. Released just in time for the 200th Anniversary celebrations, Beaver Falls is a fitting tribute to a cherished community.
