“Boomtown”: A History of Chester, PA

Watch "Boomtown" 

I started off Black History month by showing this video of Chester History. The History of Chester Course was created a few years ago at Chester High School and the Boomtown video was shown as a part of the curriculum. Although the course is not being offered currently, the video always gets good responses. I am thankful to the people who participated in the video and people who created the video. Chester continues to make improvements and is on its way to become a “Boomtown” again.
