It's History!
By: Phil Beckman, Producer
On May 1, 1898, the USS Olympia, the flagship of Commodore George Dewey, steamed into Manila Bay in the Philippines to take on the Spanish. After a few hours of battle, Dewey accepted the surrender of the Spanish garrison. The USS Olympia is now a floating exhibit at the Independence Seaport Museum in Philadelphia and was featured on PCN’s It’s History! series.
It’s History! showcases museums and historic sites across Pennsylvania. The series has toured large private museums, county historical societies, historic houses and farms, and private collections that have been opened to the public.
At the German Cultural Heritage Center at Kutztown University we toured a preserved 19th century Pennsylvania Dutch farmstead which includes a farmhouse, barn, summer kitchen and furnished one-room schoolhouse.
Fred Simeone, founder of the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum in Philadelphia, gave us a tour of his collection of more than 75 racing sports cars from a 1907 Renault Vanderbilt Racer to a 1936 Aston Martin Le Mans to a 1964 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe.
