Faces Behind The Blog

Created by Brandy M. Watts Martin, StonyValley.com has been educating visitors about the abandoned Schuylkill & Susquehanna Railroad since 2003. The website is dedicated to the rich history that has been left by the Schuylkill & Susquehanna Railroad (predominately in Stony Valley, but also in the other communities along the railroad’s former line in Dauphin, Lebanon and Schuylkill Counties, Pennsylvania), with hopes to teach the present generation about their heritage and how to discover the wilderness for themselves.

Scroll down to meet the people behind the "Stony Valley Heritage" blog entries.

Schuylkill & Susquehanna RR Historian
A native of Central Pennsylvania, Brandy, has been studying the Schuylkill & Susquehanna Railroad since 1997, when she was in third grade. Having a fascination of American history since she was a child, she wanted to share her love of history with others, but not in the traditional classroom setting. She found Public Heritage to be the perfect fit for her while working and volunteering in various museums and historical societies. Brandy has a B.H. in American Studies, with a class focus on Museum Studies and Public Heritage, from Penn State Harrisburg, and presently operates StonyValley.com, sharing her love of history through the website, its social media, public presentations and historical hikes. She volunteers her time with the Cold Spring Preservation Project and the Mason-Dixon Council, BSA.
