The Renovo area is a gateway to the Appalachian Mountain Range – a plateau with hundreds of hollows and valleys that were carved by runoff from glaciers that covered 30% of northern Pennsylvania. For centuries, it has been the streams and creeks running down the valleys and feeding into the West Branch of the Susquehanna River that opened pathways for people to pass through the mountains to explore the beauty and natural resources of this part of Penn’s Woods. It is within those valleys and along those waterways that we find Renovo’s heritage.

 In this episode, Martha Sykes sets the scene for Renovo’s beginning through the writing of J.Milton Furey. 

If there is a myth, monster, or mystery to be tracked down, Lou Bernard is hot on its trail. Lou is a local historian who has spent a lifetime investigating the people, places, creatures, and events that compose the colorful side of our local history. In this episode, Lou introduces us to The Swamp Angel.
