10:09 - dairy Princess

10:10 - she did so she was very involved in the dairy Princess organization

10:14 - for years she would you know.

10:17 - Organize all of

10:18 - and

10:19 - the girls would go to and just spend a lotta time you

10:22 - know it was important to her of spreading the word of

10:25 - dairy in our area and

10:26 - that's what she did.

10:28 - Really.

10:30 - I'm.

10:31 - Sure I've seen the waterfall.

10:35 - Yeah so a lot of dairy misses and dairy maids and

10:39 - but it's good to see the youth getting involved

10:41 - in a couple of boys yes yes that's the new

10:44 - yeah very popular.

10:48 - Yeah I

10:49 - know.

11:02 - I did yeah yeah.

11:05 - Of course his father

11:07 - hey.

11:09 - In the

11:10 - agricultural scene for many years as well I think

11:12 - he's been practicing for almost over forty years so

11:30 - fen old friends for a long time right.

11:35 - Hello yes

11:37 - many.

11:39 - Of course.

11:40 - It's all about theory

11:42 - but it's also about the future of agriculture here in Pennsylvania

11:45 - we'll be right back.

12:00 - You know

12:01 - one of the interesting things with the

12:03 - first citizens community bank is

12:05 - a lot of our lenders a lot of the team that we have

12:09 - can you continue to be involved in agriculture today.

12:12 - I think that positions us very uniquely

12:15 - compared to a lot of our competition because we are heavily involved in agriculture

12:19 - and we understand what our customers are experiencing.

12:23 - The people there.

12:25 - Treated as

12:26 - like more than just a number

12:27 - who took an interest in what we were doing

12:29 - and

12:30 - there's much more of a personal relationship and Ruby experienced a lot of banks

12:34 - we talked to many banks about this

12:36 - about how to finance our

12:38 - our new opportunity.

12:39 - It was just.

12:41 - Far and away the best trip for us

12:42 - to use

12:43 - first citizens.

12:44 - As challenges arise.

12:47 - There's no one better to help you

12:48 - than people that are farmers themselves and the first citizens

12:51 - there are farmers

12:52 - so why not deal with

12:53 - people who understand what you're going through.

13:26 - Working back and today we're down to the

13:28 - honesdale historical.

13:31 - Society are winning Kennedy history

13:33 - and

13:34 - I got the

13:35 - Beth Ann.

13:37 - It's Keith does it keats

13:39 - keats

13:39 - yup

13:40 - better

13:40 - I got it that time

13:42 - but

13:43 - you have a lot to do with trains and you're an author and do a lot of

13:46 - work

13:47 - presenting books in Edinburgh

13:49 - very true I've had a lot of experience

13:52 - with volunteering a different historical society

13:54 - has volunteered with a Westchester railroad for

13:57 - a

13:58 - Little while past president of the historical society

14:01 - and I've been volunteering here at the Wayne county historical society for

14:05 - a couple of years now and

14:07 - we're very proud to be here today on

14:09 - August eighth

14:10 - night

14:11 - twenty twenty six to celebrate the one hundred and ninety seventh anniversary of the

14:15 - very first running of the stourbridge lion

14:17 - where you know

14:17 - it's a big thing really something to think about it he was the first commercial

14:21 - railroad in Pittsburgh or the united states

14:24 - correct and so many people

14:26 - don't even realize they probably have that

14:27 - small-town never had nothing like that right

14:30 - very true and in my hand actually I have a

14:33 - centennial that explicit postcard

14:36 - from fifty years ago so when they win it for when it first started

14:41 - I didn't know the making she getting noticed

14:44 - and they made a big deal out of it in.

14:47 - Nineteen seventy nine

14:49 - so when they made that big deal out of pet out about it we've been.

14:52 - You know they've done it before but you know this this was one of the things that

14:56 - really kicked things off so we're going to actually

14:58 - hand these out to anybody that is

15:00 - and comes to visit us today at the museum right

15:04 - you don't

15:04 - have

15:05 - of course this is the replica but it's an exact replica but

15:09 - little nineteen thirty three by the Delaware and Hudson railroad company

15:12 - and the purpose and reason why they built it is because

15:15 - they wanted to be able to showcase to the world.

15:18 - At the Chicago exit expedition the new York expedition the world

15:22 - the different world's fair

15:23 - and Philadelphia actually traveled to all the different

15:26 - worlds

15:27 - and all

15:28 - it's been all over

15:29 - and

15:29 - encouraged you know a lot of people don't realize

15:32 - if you stop and think about the ingenuity

15:34 - that went into this and the ingenuity of

15:37 - our forefathers more or less.

15:40 - They

15:40 - had to move coal from over by one carbondale and

15:43 - right here

15:44 - in honesdale it was stockpile a big snag

15:47 - absolutely it was

15:48 - the biggest thing is they had to get it over the music mountain

15:51 - with music mountain being so high so steep.

15:54 - It was either a lotta switchback backs or gravity and you

15:57 - know with a lot of inclined planes and things of that nature

16:00 - this area right in here is pretty flat so they needed a way

16:04 - to get.

16:05 - From honesdale.

16:07 - Through the flat areas to to get it to the next inclined plane

16:10 - and that was the purpose of the lion

16:12 - and of course at first they had to canal

16:14 - and then the train came in place right correct so they built

16:18 - in eighteen twenty three the Delaware Hudson canal company was established.

16:23 - After raising more than a million dollars for it and they built

16:26 - a canal that was over one hundred and eight miles long.

16:29 - The.

16:30 - Short period of time written in less than a year and the lion actually came up that

16:34 - I after the spring thaw in eighteen twenty nine so it made it here

16:39 - into this air area

16:41 - in late July

16:43 - or early July

16:45 - of eighteen twenty nine

16:47 - where you know

16:47 - of course.

16:49 - I was raised in the dairy business and the train is really what brought the dairy

16:53 - business strong in our part of the country and across the whole country because

16:56 - you could transport products into new York and places like that or

17:00 - greater speed right

17:01 - absolutely and that was one of the big innovations

17:04 - and reasons for the trains it was a straight shot

17:07 - and it rolled it rolled along a lot for faster and was able to get everything not

17:12 - just milk but all sorts of product

17:14 - produce etc

17:15 - to the market quicker

17:17 - you didn't have refrigeration initially so you were with

17:20 - you so you're making the ice blocks

17:22 - as it were

17:23 - you know out of all the different things.

17:26 - Several ponds and they were built

17:27 - right

17:28 - there but that's what you know they were all

17:30 - pretty low they weren't they didn't need to be deep

17:32 - you just needed to be able to make them and.

17:35 - Studios around them

17:37 - no no absolutely not

17:39 - but all those industries grew up together they did

17:42 - they did and of course the

17:43 - the train brought so much to america you know

17:47 - this was actually at one time

17:49 - when Johnny was at the tannery center

17:51 - of the world

17:52 - and

17:53 - you know naturally that had something to do with trains in

17:56 - a way because they would ship the hides and that in year

17:59 - ten because we had

18:00 - an abundance of hemlock trees that they used for

18:04 - the

18:05 - as

18:05 - For the.

18:07 - Yeah

18:07 - absolutely well this whole area was incredibly forest that in the edit originally

18:12 - some of the forest has come back but you can see there's not a whole lot of old wood

18:15 - growth in this area because so much of the logging was done

18:19 - you know

18:19 - the great part of it is if you stop and think about it.

18:23 - Well

18:24 - Pennsylvania is known for trains I remember you you spend some time over

18:28 - steam down on celebrate

18:30 - yup

18:30 - yup this year we were blessed to have the big

18:33 - boy from union pacific come into Pennsylvania

18:36 - it's the first time probably the only time since the nineteen forties.

18:40 - Because the the big boy forty fourteen never Iran here in Pennsylvania.

18:45 - Everybody I've talked to that

18:47 - was there in person to see it at different towns and

18:49 - it went and all they couldn't get over the size of a

18:52 - huge four eight eight four the drive wheels are over seventy two inches

18:56 - that's taller than me.

18:59 - No there it's just mammoth it's it's.

19:02 - Amazing some of the machines I go to

19:04 - quite a few historical tracker shows and

19:08 - in some of the old steam engines and the oil pools and then

19:11 - they had them gigantic wheels on some of them may ten feet tall

19:15 - oh absolutely I wonder how they transported from one place to the other.

19:19 - Well you mean that the the trains or the tractors

19:22 - that the track while the tractors you see just used to even today

19:26 - John deere putting tractors around the horseshoe curve at least once or twice a week

19:31 - where you know really

19:32 - the cheapest way of

19:33 - transporting

19:34 - goods

19:35 - across countries by train absolute and

19:38 - I've I've taught to a lot of people that were involved were trains in it

19:42 - and it's still very viable in fact I'd like to see more of it myself

19:46 - because.

19:47 - You'd have

19:48 - less traffic on going into the cities and stuff like that and

19:52 - they can carry a much bigger load

19:54 - oh absolutely and you can get it there on a straighter shot

19:57 - one of the reasons why Abraham Lincoln was involved in

20:00 - creating the union pacific back in the eighteen fifties

20:03 - is because he really wanted to try to make the transcontinental railroad road

20:07 - to be able to get to California

20:09 - from

20:09 - Pennsylvania and areas in the east we had all the beginnings

20:13 - of railroading in this area

20:15 - but it's really the union pacific and some of the other railroads that are

20:19 - out west that made that transcontinental railroad even possible

20:22 - you know when you think about Abraham Lincoln

20:24 - his foresight.

20:27 - From a very poor background tribe

20:29 - he knew what the average person needed.

20:33 - And

20:34 - the mineral a thread

20:35 - and

20:36 - you know

20:37 - great and you know everything from

20:39 - the people's garden which is us d eight today and things like that

20:43 - and land Grant colleges where

20:46 - so much of our.

20:48 - When we have a problem with

20:49 - some sort of disease or somewhat plant life and things like that they all your comment

20:54 - and and at the same token.

20:57 - Making better products whores all the way around and even in.

21:01 - The automobile industry and of course tractors and machinery and all that stuff too

21:06 - but

21:07 - you know.

21:08 - Seeing

21:09 - the people that

21:10 - that

21:11 - was our forefathers

21:13 - had so so much

21:14 - ingenuity in them

21:15 - you know and you'd really gotta admire my

21:18 - definitely for sure believe it or not when Lincoln was a young boy

21:22 - the stourbridge lion actually ran

21:24 - so on August eight eighteen twenty nine.

21:27 - Lincoln was alive he was pretty young you know I I

21:29 - think he was in his early teenage years may not have

21:32 - you know whether naughty actually heard about it or not I don't know

21:36 - and but our forefathers from over two hundred and fifty years ago

21:40 - with the declaration of independence being two hundred and fifty years this year

21:44 - I had fun reading it out here in honesdale at

21:46 - the park right in front of the civil war much

21:48 - of it was kind of shirt also

21:50 - I do so.

21:52 - We're debuting this this today this is I was first

21:56 - but we're debuting the very new t-shirt from the Wayne county historical society

22:00 - there's only limited supplies available

22:03 - and so we're hoping to sell these out today but

22:06 - if you're interested come get it this is that was the back and the front has the lion

22:10 - on it

22:11 - saying Wayne county historical society so

22:14 - we we will be very proud to continue to say that.

22:18 - The stourbridge lion in here in honesdale was the very first

22:22 - commercially run steam locomotive here in in north america

22:25 - with

22:26 - the idea to put the lion on the front.

22:28 - That's up for debate

22:30 - my my personal opinion is that

22:33 - Andrew Jackson was actually the president at the time

22:36 - and a lot of people called him the lion because of his wild hair at the time

22:40 - but I mean it could have been just about anything.

22:44 - I

22:44 - Don't know

22:45 - and a dog shows a lot of times it'll make a dog look like

22:49 - with the main all wild out like that so I mean

22:52 - who knows I mean that's my theory I don't know

22:55 - necessarily that that's correct but

22:57 - if it was put on we believe in.

23:00 - The in new York

23:02 - by a worker and we really don't even have any

23:04 - idea for sure what it actually looked like

23:07 - we know it was probably red

23:09 - because I've been to the Baltimore

23:11 - and Ohio railroad museum where the original boiler still sits today

23:15 - and you can see very slight remnants of red.

23:19 - So

23:19 - But

23:20 - you can't see what it actually read show ready that it was read

23:23 - one time

23:24 - and you know of course the yellow shows up so much

23:27 - better absolutely for safety reasons it's yellow

23:29 - that that

23:31 - that's more of the reason why but you gotta give them credit you know you gotta

23:34 - remember here you're dealing with steam

23:36 - yeah there's a lot of people who are afraid of.

23:39 - Horses were afraid of this contraption to oh everybody

23:43 - and

23:44 - and of course

23:45 - he climbed down there and started it up and up the road he went yup

23:49 - Horatio Allen on August eighth eighteen twenty nine

23:52 - didn't have any fear as he took off put it right around the corner

23:56 - you know right across the lack of wax and

23:58 - a bridge a sharp corner and then just took off towards the

24:01 - mill so you know and that's what makes this such an interesting museum

24:04 - it has so much it actually has paintings and then.
