\u00a0Today is the 225th anniversary of the Boehm’s Chapel in Willow Street, Pennsylvania. The Chapel is the fourth most historically significant centre of Methodism in America. The Chapel was built on land donated by my Boehm ancestors who had received the original title\u00a0directly\u00a0from William Penn.<\/strong>\u00a0 Celebrations will be on-going throughout the day by the Boehm’s Chapel Society which is dedicated to the preservation of building and the spreading of the knowledge of its unique role in the history of faith in America.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Boehm’s Chapel Society has acquired a copy of my book for their library, “Loyal She Began”, \u00a0and will have it on display during the celebrations. The book tells the story of the Boehm migration to Canada in the aftermath of the American Revolution.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
