In this episode, we sit down with Conor Hepp, President of the Chester County History Center, to explore how one of our region’s oldest cultural institutions continues to preserve and share the stories that shape us. Conor walks us through the Center’s extensive collection, the creative ways the organization adapted during the pandemic, and how new technologies and community programs are helping expand its reach to audiences near and far. We also hear how the Center is honoring local legacies through exhibits, walking tours, and partnerships, and why history – even when difficult – must be told truthfully.OUR PARTNERSouthern Chester County Chamber of CommerceLINKSChester County History CenterWebsite: mycchc.orgFacebook: facebook.com/ChesterCountyHistoryInstagram: instagram.com/ChesterCountyHistoryLinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/chestercountyhistorycenterConor Hepp on LinkedInAdditional Local OrganizationsThe Colonial TheatreChester County Art AssociationHistoric Yellow SpringsNorth Star of Chester CountyHome of the SparrowCrime Victims’ Center of Chester CountyNAACP Coatesville Area BranchPunk/Rock BandsBad ReligionPennywiseRage Against the MachineRelated EpisodesBuilding a Thriving Theater to Benefit the Local Community with Jennifer CarlsonSupporting Victims of Sexual Violence and Other Crimes with Christine ZaccarelliTranscriptThe full transcript will be posted on our website as soon it is available.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/O3-LPjst6hNcGIRrftxR3k6QivI-cZMcu5DFE-qWCD4/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQwNDA4LzE2ODk4/ODgyNzItYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
