I write a weekly op-ed column for the Perry County Times. I often touch on the history of the county. I like the Pandemonia story. I'll have to look into it.
If you're curious about my columns, I invite you to check them out at www.matthewolshan.com.
Thanks for the fun tour of the neighborhood!
Best,

Matthew,
How great to have a house in Landisburg! Is it as old as most of the places there?
I'll definitely check out your columns. I find local history fascinating. It's mind-boggling how much has gone on in any given area over the years. I suppose it's not quite like ancient European cities that were built on even older cities, which were built on top of Roman ruins--but it's close enough for me.
Here's a good place to start if you end up researching a Pandemonia story for the Times:
