Penn State University Alumni Association-Northeastern Maryland, NEMAR. View this email in your browser NEMAR... Penn State Alumni Association of Northeastern Maryland and the Susquehanna Lock House Museum Service Project     It is springtime in Maryland and time for our yearly service project at the Susquehanna Lock House Museum in Havre de Grace Maryland. For over six years our club has met at the Lock House Museum for a morning of cleaning, clearing brush, gardening, raking and a little landscaping. It is always a great day of friends, some light work, Pizza and serving our community.  We are working at the Lock House this year on: Saturday March 28th. 2015. We meet in the parking lot at 9:00 AM.  Bring some light tools from home like rakes, weed eaters, wheelbarrows, shovels, gloves and branch loppers.  The museum is located at 817 Conesteo Street, in Havre De Grace, MD. It is just down river from the railroad bridge across the Susquehanna. Meet fellow Penn State alumni and enjoy the morning while you lend a hand to a very worthy cause. We all look forward to seeing you there.               A little history.... Construction on the Lock House began in 1836 and was completed in 1840. The 45 miles of canal ran from Havre de Grace at the top of the Chesapeake Bay to Wrightsville, PA. It interconnected with nearly 4,000 miles of other canals throughout the Midwest and Eastern United States and opened central Pennsylvania to convenient trade with Philadelphia and Baltimore. A total of 29 locks, raised or lowered canal boats a total of 233 feet to compensate for the elevation difference. The boats were pulled by mules. Lumber, farm products, and especially coal were the primary cargoes transported via the Canal during its heyday in the 1860s and 1870s.  We hope to see you there. Email me if you have any questions.
