Setting out to preserve hometown communities Arcadia Publishing’s Images of America books work to make hometowns historic. Looking to feature a Lancaster County area they turned to local writer Cory Van Brookhoven to cover Warwick Township.
A third generation local historian and having written several books and articles involving history in Lancaster County, Cory was ready to take the challenge. He shares with us how he collected not only great images for his book but also captivating stories to accompany them.
Born and raised in Warwick Township, Cory still lives within a few miles of it’s boundaries. He tells us about his hopes that the book will benefit his community and how half of his proceeds are being donated to the Lititz Library.

Cory,
I still see you as Jeff’s little brother from the 80′s. Wow, how I am so proud of the man and historian that you have become! I am sure that your mom and dad are so proud as well! Your grandfather, Sketch, his legacy is living on through you. What a great man he was and I am sure he is looking down on you smiling! I would love to get a book signed by you. Are you doing any more book signings or could you send me one if I send you a check. I love that you are “paying it forward” and helping out the Lititz Library. Mom and dad did so great with you. Kuddos to them!!!!!
Had a great time, and thanks for allowing me to record it!
