Talk about high stakes poker! In this episode, the Grandmas tell about the legend of how Curwensville might have been lost in a poker game. There were a few times that the land warrant changed hands before most of the lots were sold to new settlers... which time was that the result of a loss at the poker table?
We chat about John Buchanan, John Curwen and his sons, and the the John Irvin family - all early landowners. One of them never even set foot in what we now call Curwensville!
Join us and help us get to the bottom of it all!
