It’s a pandemic! The President and First Lady have tested positive in an election year! 2020 has indeed been a long, trying and often deadly year for millions worldwide. Our lives have all been affected. Masks, quarantines, social distancing, capacity limits at restaurants and bars have all become part of our daily lives.

The Hagen History Center/Erie County Historical Society currently has about 14,000 objects in the 3D collection that they are keeping. These objects are in a computer data base, are bar coded and are being stored properly for the long term. The Society wishes to deaccession, or remove from the collection, about 600 objects that have no real connection to Erie than perhaps being used here, and an auction will take place October 15th at Ploss Auction in Corry starting at 3:00 pm.

Nearly four years ago, the Erie County Historical Society (ECHS) began a process with the Lake Erie Region Conservancy (LERC) to preserve a large portion of the Battles Farm in perpetuity by creating an easement to prohibit development of over 80 acres of the woods at the south end of the property. That easement closed earlier this summer. In addition to the main grant through DCNR, both Erie Insurance and the Erie Community Foundation contributed to a fund established for improvements to the Girard properties.

School is back in session and this year is certainly unique due to the pandemic. Erie County is home to 13 school districts, along with many private schools, charter schools and home schools.

Let us take a look at the development of public schools in the City.
