Walnut St., Allentown.
“Dr. Donner’s talk offers a fascinating look at the process by which the Pennsylvania-Germans maintained their unique culture while becoming American,” said Joseph Garrera, Executive Director of the Museum.
Donner, who received a PhD from the University of Pennsylvania, is a Professor of Anthropology at Kutztown University. Copies of Donner’s recent book, “Serious Nonsense: Groundhog Lodges, Versammlinge, and Pennsylvania German Heritage,” will be available for purchase and signing.
