The Conestoga River
Donald Kautz is a Web Developer, Amateur Photographer, and History Buff. Don recently published a book entitled “The Conestoga River: A History”.
A native Lancastrian, Don is eager to promote the concept that the Conestoga is “our river”.
This presentation takes a brief stroll through the history along the Conestoga River. We will consider the historic conditions along the Conestoga, and we will look at the effects that settlement of the county has had on the river and what steps can be taken to ensure that the generations to come are able to enjoy this natural beauty.
Donald Kautz is a Lancaster native, landscape photographer and Lancaster County history blogger. Kautz has expanded his work from landscape to include brightly colored artistic floral photography. In the exhibit, Kautz will be displaying, Conestoga Pastoral, from his collection of photos about the Conestoga River. He started photography at a young age but increased his focus on photography in the last few years.
Author and photographer, Don Shenk, continues to love the beauty of Lancaster County, which is the theme in most of his photographs and books. Shenk has been a photographer for over 50 years including time as a freelance photographer for LNP.
