A250-Lunch and Lecture-From the Heart of Pennsylvania to the Soul of France

Join us as part of America's 250th series as we enjoy a period lunch and learn about the enduring bond between Meadville and Fismes.

Linked not just by diplomacy, but by heroism, sacrifice, and a shared promise never to forget. Meadville native and Crawford County Convention & Visitors Bureau Executive Director Victoria Dickson will welcome guests to the incredible story of Meadville, Pennsylvania and its sister city, Fismes, France—a transatlantic bond forged in the fires of World War I and kept alive through generations of gratitude, generosity, and genuine friendship. A period luncheon (1910s) will be served as part of this program.
