"Pennsylvania played an important role in our nation's history and the Dennis Farm in Susquehanna County is one shining example. Now, thanks in part to a natural gas lease with Cabot Oil and Gas, this piece of American, African-American, and Pennsylvania history is being preserved and restored. It's a story worth hearing and a project worth supporting.

If you are from Pennsylvania, chances are that you are aware of the profound role our state had in shaping the United States of America. From Independence Hall and the birth of our nation in Philadelphia to the rise of the steel industry in Pittsburgh and the Drake Well which launched oil exploration in the United States. These examples, and many others, make it abundantly clear that Pennsylvania has been a part of major achievements, advancements, and creations that have literally shaped our nation.

If you couldn't tell, I am very proud to hail from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and that sentiment was even further reinforced Tuesday night when I had the privilege to attend an exhibit at the African American Museum in Philadelphia and learn about the rich history of the Dennis Farm in Susquehanna County."
