A Hill to Die on: How we bury our loved ones – and the unloved

In S1, E4, Jamie Kinsley (left) and Dominish Miller (right) discuss how we bury our loved ones - and the unloved. Three cemeteries sit atop a hill north of York. As you head north, you find that those laid to rest in Prospect Hill, York City and Lebanon cemeteries range from York area residents who could pay for burial, to those who were segregated by class and then those who were separated by race. In the latter two, abandoned and unmarked graves were common. At Lebanon, work is underway to find and mark burial sites. Will Friends Burial Grounds in Newberrytown, a Quaker cemetery, be next?

Millers’ Tales: 360 mills spun in well-watered York County

In S1, E5, Jamie Kinsley and Dominish Miller discuss the 360 mills that spun in 1876 on York County’s creek. These wood, stone and brick mills point to a well-watered county that supported one of the mightiest farm economies in America for decades, centuries. To process, say, wheat into flour, farmers would bring their grain to water-powered mills along a nearby stream. These mills served multiple needs - from community meeting places to banks. And the colorful feedbags could be used for clothing. Today, some farmers depend on mills, now powered by other means. And these old buildings have been adapted to other uses - event venues, apartments and eateries, a reminder of those days in which millers served their communities in so many ways.

They filmed at the Blue Sky Tavern in Etters, PA.

Many look back on the Yorktowne Hotel, thinking about weddings and dances in the grand ballroom, special anniversary nights or meeting celebrities in the lobby on their way from performances at the Appell Center or the Valencia. And there’s immense meaning spawned in that tall building, with its 77-foot signature rooftop flagpole. For sure, not everyone had access to those Yorktowne memories and that would start with people of color. When the Yorktowne opened in 1925, Black people could not stay there. After 30 years, the Yorktowne Hotel gained a well-earned entry in the Green Book, a treasure of safe and accepting places for Black people who were traveling to stay. Thirty years later, the hotel banned a white supremacist organization from meeting there. This landmark has long reflected its community. The Yorktowne has presided over York’s post World War II retail zenith and persevered through its downturns. Now, the renovated Yorktowne is a tall part of the downtown’s comeback. Indeed, the Yorktowne story is one of complexity and celebration and now of rebirth - sporting a newly minted Hilton tag and a restoration that will make it a place of memories and meaning for decades to come.

Walk with us along the York County Heritage Rail Trail, following the path of the 19th-century Northern Central Railway. Let’s start at the Maryland line and particularly take in the towns along the way - New Freedom, Railroad, Glen Rock, Seven Valleys and York. These are towns that are finding renewed energy from rail trail users like us. We stop, talk, shop and appreciate these old towns. And importantly, these towns remain the place where York County’s people live, work, worship and play. They are places that have seen a lot and offered much, making the map or receiving a boost when this old railroad corridor first punched through from Baltimore in 1838. And this ribbon of a county park - the 27-mile rail trail - will be tied when its northern and southern sections meet in York this spring. At that point, New Freedom in York County’s south will shake hands with Manchester Township in its northeast, drawing two key regions of the county more closely together in the way the old Northern Central knit York and Baltimore. In partnership with the York County Economic Alliance.

Sandra Stockton, former York resident and author of 480 Codorus Street, joined Jamie and Domi to talk about her first hand experiences during Tropical Storm Agnes.

In S1, E1, Jamie Noerpel and Dominish Marie Miller explore the Underground Railroad heroics of Ezekiel and Eliza Baptist, African-American station masters. The Baptists also hosted Harriet Tubman in their Steinhour Road, Newberry Township farmhouse. Jamie and Domi talk about this family that farmed by day and served as Underground Railroad operators at night.

Jamie, a teacher, holds a doctorate in American studies, blogs about local history and culture and operates the WitnessingYork.com digital site. Domi, a federal court archivist, holds a master’s degree in library science and local history and moderates the Preserving the History of Newberrytown Facebook group. She is a re-enactor in the 87th Pennsylvania.
