Sarah Finney was a true pioneer who lived alone, with her nearest neighbor miles away, on the edge of the wilderness where Reading would eventually be established. The area was known as Finney Town. In colonial costume, the presenter will teach about the life of Widow Finney, the time period in which she lived, and the Lenape who also resided in her area.
