Historic Rock Ford, 881 Rock Ford Road, Lancaster, will hold a program in its Untold Stories of the Revolution Lecture Series on Sunday, April 12, at 2 p.m. in the Langmuir Education Room, located on the first floor of the barn. Mickey Herr will present "That One Day Women Will Be Treated and Thought of the Same Way as Men: Considering Women's Contributions to Colonial Pennsylvania."

Herr will share highlights from her research into Colonial Pennsylvania women, including ministers, interpreters, diarists, an inventor, and a fur trader. Her discoveries became the catalyst for a project of the National Society of the Colonial Dames of America in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, "For the Common Good: The Women Who Shaped Our Nation." Herr is the executive producer of the nine-part docuseries, which features women who made important contributions to the founding of America. Herr will highlight Lancaster-area women, including public officeholder Ann Wood Henry.

Herr is a writer, storyteller, public historian, and communications strategist who has held positions in development and communications for cultural institutions in the Philadelphia area. Herr serves as first vice president of the board of the National Society of the Colonial Dames of America in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. She is a new member of the Committee of 1926 at Historic Strawberry Mansion and a longtime member of the Franklin Inn literary club.

Visitors may park behind the barn. Prior to the lecture, attendees may visit the Snyder Gallery and view the 2026 Focus Exhibit. The Snyder Gallery will close at 4 p.m.
