“Alburtis…A Stroll Through the Past”
This historical documentary was commissioned by the Alburtis Lockridge Historical Society to chronicle the development of Alburtis from a farming community into a suburban community.
Based upon the “History of Alburtis”, as authored by Allen Oswald, the script uses historical images and maps to trace the two villages of Alburtis and Lock Ridge through their union as they joined to become the Borough of Alburtis in 1913.
The two villages and the businesses with the services they supplied made this area self-sufficient. Lock Ridge Iron Furnace thrived from 1868 to 1920 using the iron ore, limestone and anthracite coal brought by rail from the north. Today it is a Lehigh County Park and the only preserved anthracite furnace in the country.
The narration, a musical bed plus animation are used to take the audience on this “stroll through the past”.
The length of the presentation is 20 minutes and it received the Videographer Award of Excellence from the Videographer Creative Awards in 2016.
The DVD is exclusively available through the Alburtis Lockridge Historical Society. The cost is $25.00 plus shipping and handling of $3.00.

"Re-Discovering the Catasauqua and Fogelsville Railroad"
This DVD is a result of a presentation following the connections of five men to the railroad and relate how they uncovered the story of the railroad and the iron industry, and its meaning for all of us today. This presentation is a joint collaboration of the Historical Societies of Lower Macungie Township, Lockridge, Macungie and Longswamp Township.
“When the Catasauqua and Fogelsville Railroad connected the iron ore mines in Rittenhouse Gap with the Thomas Iron Works in Alburtis, a major industrial region was created in the townships of Lower Macungie and Longswamp. The railroad hauled iron ore from the mines to the Thomas Iron Works at Alburtis and Hokendauqua, plus other furnaces. For several decades, our local iron industry was a national leader. Once the iron furnaces shut down in the early 20th century, traffic on the Catasauqua and Fogelsville declined; many of its routes were abandoned. But the remnants of the mines, the railroad, the furnaces and their impact of the communities, are still quite evident.”
