July 7

A three-member committee of the New Philadelphia Association board met Tuesday, July 5, at the Burdick Center to begin preliminary planning for renovating the 1942 Burdick house as a conference center. There was considerable discussion and a lot of ideas. The house was toured from attic to basement.

The house will be a great place for a conference-visitor's center, with possibilities for housing students of historical archeology. Klingner & Associates of Quincy/Hannibal has offered to contribute some technical assistance and the committee will meet again next week.
