something to do this weekend, on Sunday, September 26, 2021 at 1:00 PM I'll be doing my first in-person talk in what seems like forever. The topic of the presentation is the Newark China Clay Company, which mined and processed kaolin clay from 1912 until 1942, on what's now the northeastern edge of White Clay Creek State Park (near the corner of Corner Ketch Road and Paper Mill Road). I did write a post a little while back about Newark China Clay, but I've come up with some new information since then, plus...it's live!
The talk will take place at the Chambers House Nature Center at White Clay Creek State Park (on Creek Road just off of Hopkins Bridge Road). The presentation will begin at 1:00 PM, and due to Covid protocols the current plan is for it to take place outside, on the front porch of the house. Looks like it's going to be a beautiful day (weather, please don't make me have to come back and edit out this part), so come out and join us. Space is limited, so you must call the park at 302-368-6900 to register. Hope to see you there!!!
