Pippin served in the 369th US Infantry Regiment, also known as the "Harlem Hellfighters." Chad Williams, author of Torchbearers of Democracy: African American Soldiers in the World War I Era, will discuss the fascinating history of this regiment and the significant impact of World War I on African Americans. The Museum will open at 5:30 p.m. with the presentation at 6 p.m. and a reception to follow.

The classes are held each month at the "Barn" of the Chadds Ford Historical Society.  The Barn is located approximately one half mile north of Route 1 at 1736 Creek Road (old Route 100) in Chadds Ford, PA.  If you are driving north on Creek Road from Route 1, the Barn is on your left hand side directly across from the John Chad house.  You should pass the Barn building, make a left into the parking lot, drive around the back of the building and enter through the large gray double doors between the round stone pillars.  Come up the stairs to the main floor and turn right into the large meeting room where we practice.

The class has been taught each month for many years by Laura Bailey to the delight of her many students.  Laura makes the trip from Lancaster each month to teach in Chadds Ford.  She also teaches similar classes in Carlisle, PA and in New Castle, DE.

Recently the group has been meeting at a local restaurant for an "after dance" drink, dessert or dinner.  If your schedule permits, please plan to join us after the dance for a pleasant social hour to unwind at mid-week.
