This year’s calendar is dedicated to the rich cultural history of the Oley Valley—a region of central Berks County—known for early architecture, religious diversity, and legendary locations. With a special emphasis on Mountain Mary or Barricke Mariche—Maria Young (1749-1819), famed healer of the Oley Hills—this year’s calendar features images of her homestead, as well as a hand-printed tapestry honoring her memory. As a bilingual calendar, all of the months, holidays, and captions are in Pennsylvania Dutch and English for ease of use in families that wish to explore their Pennsylvania heritage.
