Along the Saucony: 

The Kutztown Area’s Early Inhabitants

 

       

 

A special museum exhibition of Native American artifacts and the history of the cultures who made them will be open every Sunday until September 28, 2003 2pm to 4pm at the Kutztown Area Historical Society’s 1892 Public School Building.  The exhibit features many artifacts found in the Kutztown area and focuses on the archeological work of Henry K. Deisher, Kutztown native and noted archeologist of the early 20th century.  The artifacts on display are from Deisher’s collection that he donated to the State Museum in Harrisburg as well as many pieces from the collection of Richard Geisinger, a native Kutztonian and avid collector of Native American pieces.  The pieces on display date from the paleolithic era to early European contact.
