Penn State Great Valley

The problematic and contradictory relationship between the art of Italian painter, sculptor, and muralist Corrado Cagli and the fascist government that supported him will be explored in a presentation by Penn State Laureate John Champagne at Penn State Great Valley on Thursday, Feb. 21 at 7 PM.

Champagne, a professor of English at Penn State, uses Cagli’s career as a starting point for engaging his audience in a discussion of art and the contemporary resurgence of fascism at home and abroad. His presentation is free and open to the public, but advance registration is required.

An annual honor established in 2008, the Penn State Laureate is a faculty member who travels the commonwealth to bring greater visibility to the arts, humanities, and the university, as well as to his or her own work.

Nottingham County Park

Chester County has acquired 80 acres of preserved land that are attached to Nottingham County Park and will extend the size of the park by more than 10 percent. The additional acres were conveyed at no cost to the county by The Nature Conservancy (TNC), which has owned the land for 20 years.

“Nottingham Park was the first-ever Chester County Park, and it now welcomes around 155,000 visitors a year who use the park’s fitness trail, pavilions, and playgrounds,” said Michelle Kichline, Chair of the Chester County Commissioners. “The park is also recognized as a National Natural Landmark because it contains one of the largest serpentine barrens on the East Coast.”

TNC purchased the 80-acre tract of land in 1998 for $275,000, using conservancy, state, and county funding for the original purchase. In reviewing its property portfolio, TNC determined that transferring the land to the county would allow for integrated and improved management across the conservation area and ensure excellent management.
