When it comes to Delaware County history, not many people know more than Keith Lockhart.
The retired police officer and lifelong Delco resident first became interested in the history of this county in his late teens.
A graduate of Penn State he has been collecting and researching the county's history for the last 40 some years. From maps, books and pictures he has put together one of the largest private collections of Delaware County History. He has written on the county's history in books, booklets and had a history column for Town Talk for over 15 years.
Lockhart serves on the board of the Colonial Plantation and the Delaware County Historical Society. He also gives lectures and presentations to numerous groups in the county.
With the county about to celebrate its 225th birthday in September, we decided to feature some of Keith's treasure trove of historical photos.
You can see a gallery of his images here.
We'll have more of them in the weeks leading up to what promises to be a bang-up 225th birthday celebration.
