NEW Images of America: Manheim - Autographed by Author and Founder of Phoenix Feather Books & Curios

"Images of America: Manheim" was written in 2021 by April Lynn Downey - founder of Phoenix Feather Books & Curios!  Inside you will find the fascinating history of her hometown of Manheim, Pennsylvania which includes over 200 historical photographs.  Every book is signed by April.

Manheim is a charming little town nestled in the countryside of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Founded by an eccentric glassmaker named Henry William Stiegel in 1762, this town was born of entrepreneurship and the hardy, adventuresome spirit of early America. Despite its founder's unfortunate financial downfall, Manheim made it through the Revolutionary War and continued to grow into a center of commerce for the surrounding farmland. Through the 20th century, Manheim continually grew in pride of its history and in modernization, as electric lights, piping, and paved roads built up the town's infrastructure. Today, Manheim remains rooted in industry but also offers visitors and residents a variety of boutiques, art studios, and community events. One can also stroll through the streets of Manheim as though walking through time itself, as many buildings from the early 1900s, the 1800s, and even two from the 1700s still grace the town's streets, making it an architectural gem.
