• The Chester County History Center is taking a figurative trip to Bucks County in January with a lecture on the Doan Gang. The gang was a group of British loyalists, the most notorious members being five brothers and one cousin from the Doan family of Plumstead, Pa. The gang was composed of around 50 members who were accused murderers, attainted traitors who ferried British prisoners of war to British lines, and horse thieves. They were also guilty of robbing tax collectors; their most famous crime being the theft of the Bucks County treasury in 1781. This 45-minute lecture — beginning at. 7 p.m. on Jan. 14, focuses on the Doan Gang and their activities in Bucks County during the American Revolution. This is a pay-as-you-wish Zoom event but registration is required.
