LHS Presents: Vintage Videos

The society resumes its Community Programs series with “Vintage Videos,” filmed images of life in the North Penn area during the early and mid 20th century. The show features a 1965 TV special produced by Channel 6 which highlights activities, personalities and scenes throughout Lansdale. It was part of a series of a 30-minute “Our Towns” programs narrated by newsman John Raleigh. In addition, long-time Lansdale Theatre projectionist John Comfort pieced together a number silent film shorts that include a parade for returning World War I veterans in Kulpsville, autos being serviced at the Dresher Garage (now the Dresher Arcade), and Fairmount firemen responding to a call. Also included will be a 1914 promotional film made for the Lehigh Valley Transit Co., the trolley line that ran from Philadelphia to Allentown. In it, a just-married couple goes on their honeymoon riding a trolley through the suburban countryside, including a trip down Lansdale’s Main Street.
