The McKeesport Regional History & Heritage Center hosts its second Summer Speaker program at 2 p.m. June 15.
Joshua Scully will present a lecture on the history of the D.L. Clark Company. Amidst Pittsburgh's coal barons, railroad tycoons, and industrialists existed one of our nation's most successive chocolatiers and confectioners --- David L. Clark.
Clark, an Irish-born immigrant, established the D.L. Clark Company and helped pioneer various types of candy throughout the early 20th century. Headquartered briefly in McKeesport in the early 20th century, D.L. Clark Company products have brought smiles to the faces of Pittsburghers for more than 126 years.
This program is held at the Heritage Center at 1832 Arboretum Drive in Renziehausen Park. It is free and open to the public. Call (412) 678-1832 for more information.
