1936 (est.) - Stevenson Family in Berwick

This photo is of the Stevenson family. It was taken around 1936 at their home on the corner of Front and Orchard Streets, Berwick.

Their yard had a large magnolia tree whose blooms attracted people driving by to view it.

The only people identified are their neighbors, Clara and Herman Beck holding their children Herm Jr. and Joan. They are the 4th & 5th people from the left.

It's believed some of these folks lived in New Jersey, possibly Asbury Park or Ocean Grove. If you know more about this photo please reply, thanks.

This photo from the November 27, 1945 Berwick Enterprise shows some Jaycees and helpers preparing for the Boulevard at the home of Donald Brown. In the photo are: Joan Beck, Sue Miller, Fred Edwards, Larry Barrett, Don Brown, Ann Lozak and Nancy Nagy.

For decades the Berwick Boulevard has been a Christmas showcase that lights up Market Street. No holiday season is complete without at least one loop of the Boulevard, at night, with Santa passing out Wise Chips.

Happy Holidays and special thanks to all those who have worked to provide this years Boulevard and to all those who worked so hard in years past!

1949 - Interstate 80 Opens Between Bloomsburg & Briar Creek

1949 was a banner year for the area. I-80 opened the nine mile stretch from Bloomsburg to Briar Creek. The roadway has been toll free since its inception and we hope it stays toll free.
