New Bethlehem Borough is feeling thankful in Pennsylvania.

4 weeks ago

HISTORY: “Situated next to the scenic Redbank Creek, these 30 coke ovens once played a key role in the area's coal industry. Originally built in the mid 19th century, these ovens operated in 12 hour shifts turning coal into coke well into the 1890s. During the height of the Great Depression, these ovens found a new purpose when they acted as shelter for traveling Americans down on their luck, better known at the time as "hobos". The remains of these ovens act as a reminder of the grueling labor that many endured and accepted as part of everyday life.” RedbankValley.org/RVHRP

New Bethlehem Borough is feeling blessed at First Baptist Church of New Bethlehem.

1 month ago

HISTORY: “To start the week off strong, our team visited the New Bethlehem First Baptist Church in search of records that could tell us more about church life during the Great Depression. We were lucky enough to find both financial records and meeting information dating back to the 1930s which will undoubtedly be useful in supporting our thesis. The New Bethlehem First Baptist Church was originally built and dedicated in 1853, making it among the oldest churches in the community. However, In 1909 construction began on a new building on Broad Street that currently houses the parish.” RedbankValley.org/RVHRP
