Bites and Bits of History

Thursday, July 18, 2024 @ 12:00 pm

July 2024 BB Graphic

At the center of a once-busy industrial region of the country, the city of Sharon, Pennsylvania experienced rapid growth in the 19th and 20th centuries. It was because of this rise in America’s industrial capacity that Sharon – and the Shenango Valley – became the heart of the coal, iron, and steel industries, leading those who benefitted from these to accumulate substantial wealth. With this newly gained wealth and power, the area’s prominent residents from the 1850s through 1915 built grand homes in a variety of popular or peculiar architectural styles of the Gilded Age.

Join the Mahoning Valley Historical Society at noon for Bites and Bits of History on Thursday, July 18 when Sharon Historical Society President and Marketing Director, Taylor Galaska discusses “Grand Homes of the Gilded Age of Sharon, PA.” Explore a transformational era in Sharon’s past with this in-depth look at the grand homes that once graced the streets of the East and West Hills.

Bring your lunch and join them in the Tyler History Center’s Thomas Ballroom for this free educational event. Bites and Bits of History Lunchtime programs are sponsored by the John and Loretta Hynes Foundation.
