This symposium is named in honor of Reverend Thomas R. Brendle whose tireless efforts to collect and preserve the region’s oral traditions and material culture inspired the founding of the Goschenhoppen Historians.  

Proceeds benefit the ongoing restoration of the 1736 Henry Antes House, a National Historic Landmark.
