"Adopt-A-Highway"
In April 2006 members and friends of the Clifford Township Historical Society, Inc. participated in their first "Adopt-A-Highway" event by cleaning up a 2 ½ mile section of Route 2014. In just a few hours, numerous large bags were filled with trash. The Historical Society has adopted that section of highway and will hold annual seasonal clean ups. In return, PennDOT has posted signs along the highway giving the Historical Society full credit for their efforts.
The Mountain View Garden Club and Idlewild Ski Shop have also adopted separate sections of Route 374. By signing two-year program participation requests with PennDOT to adopt sections of area roadways, these folks are showing a commitment to caring for the environment and maintaining our community.
The Clifford Township Historical Society presented cultural events, music, dance & theater revealing Clifford Township's History on summer weekends in both 2008 and 2009. To view photos of the events, visit www.cliffordpa.com
Chautauqua is a Seneca word: place where fish jump or are taken; place of clean water. Chautauqua was an adult educational movement that brought the culture of the big city to rural and small town America. There were performances of music, dance and theater, as well as, speakers.
