Girard

Girard chronicles the history of this borough from its early settlement around 1800 to the mid-1900s. Photographs document Girard's relocation on the Erie Extension Canal, the borough's participation as a station on the Underground Railroad, the years when the circus tycoon and humorist Dan Rice called Girard home, the area's trolley history, and the influence of the Battles family.
