Preserving Pennsylvania’s Past While Building Its Future: Keystone Markers and New Women’s Sports Take the Spotlight

(00:00:00) Jack Graham—Executive Director with the Keystone Marker Trust—specializes in preserving Pennsylvania’s historic cast‑iron keystone markers, which once stood at entrances to towns and along bridges across the state. Beginning in the 1920s, the Pennsylvania Department of Highways installed these distinctive blue‑and‑gold markers at nearly every community large enough to have a post office. Although thousands once existed, only a small number remain today. The Historical Society of Perry County is hosting Jack for a presentation on the markers’ history, significance, deterioration, and the ongoing work to restore and protect them. (00:22:23) Gettysburg College has announced the addition of three new women’s varsity sports: Women’s Wrestling – launching Fall 2026 as the 25th varsity sport Women’s Acrobatics & Tumbling – debuting in 2027–28 Women’s Flag Football – debuting in 2027–28 These are the first new varsity programs since women’s golf in 2000–01. The new additions strengthen Gettysburg’s nationally competitive Division III athletics program, which ranked 29th nationally in the Learfield Directors’ Cup last year.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
