Back When: Andersonburg, Cisna Run & Couchtown, Pennsylvania is a treasure trove of real stories, reminiscences, and 125 photographs of the local history of the area. From 1755 to 1955, the three crossroads were not the hamlets of quiet, sleepy houses that dot the valley today. Instead, they were bustling, thriving centers with storekeepers, millers, undertaker, doctor, hotelier and tavern keeper, and teachers. Farmers up and down the valley provided for their families on productive farms while sawmillers on the Couchtown Road mined the woodlands. Families worshipped at St. Paul's Lutheran Church and Green Grove Sunday School, and children learnd readin', 'riting, and 'rithmatic at one of the four one-room schools.
