Easton History: You Should Know It!

Patricia Burton and her husband Christopher started the Bachmann Players. Currently, they are working on getting the Bachmann open for tours more consistently on first Saturdays. 

"What's something that people probably don't know about the Bachmann House?"
"In 1777, September 22nd, I believe, John Adams actually came her on his way up from Philadelphia on his way to York, when the Continental Congress was fleeing Philadelphia from the British. We have documentation that he actually had dinner here. The piece that we're working on right now is about the French and Indian War and I found it interesting that Ben Franklin was actually friends with William Parsons, who was the founder of Easton and Ben Franklin actually helped during the crisis because the town was actually falling apart at that point--there were so many refugees coming in and threats of attacks coming in from over the mountains."
