THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT - Please join us for our other Sunday Series.
Historical Society to Host "Historical Sundays" Series!
The Pike County Historical Society and Museum will host a series of educational and entertaining performances starting on July 28th with a unique program, followed by a light supper, dessert and coffee. The program starts at 3pm and will be held in The Foundation Room of the museum, located at 608 Broad Street in Milford, Pa.
Lou Del Bianco portrays his grandfather, Luigi Del Bianco, and talks about his unsung contribution as chief carver on our nation’s greatest memorial, Mount Rushmore. Lou uses authentic photos, timelines and primary source documents to bring Luigi’s story to life. The presentation culminates with designer Gutzon Borglum’s praise of Luigi, the 25 year struggle to get him recognized and the CBS SUNDAY MORNING tribute where a plaque at Mount Rushmore is finally unveiled! Now a published book authored by Lou, “Out of Rushmore’s Shadow” is a dramatic and touching story about Luigi’s legacy and the immigrant struggle. Copies of the book will be available for purchase, and Lou will be happy to sign them!
