Abstract
Florence Baver and her husband were the main organizers and leaders of the Pennsylvania Dutch Folk Culture Center in Lenhartsville, Pa. The Center’s collection was moved to the Pennsylvania German Cultural Heritage Center and formed the initial basis for their collection. I interviewed her before most of the material was moved.
This interview took place in the early 1990s, 1990-1992. It was with Florence Baver and covered a variety of topics concerning the Pennsylvania Dutch Folk Culture Center in Lenhartsville. It was recorded by Bill Donner.
