State and Local Government
Sen. Steve Santarsiero · I was happy to present Gather Place's founder Shirley Lee Corsey with a check for $50,000 from the state to repair the building’s roof. With dedication, hard work, and the help of her family and neighbors, Shirley has transformed the 146 year old African Methodist Episcopal Church in Yardley Borough into the first African American Woman-owned and operated American history museum in Bucks County. I enjoyed talking with her, Councilman David Appelbaum and Emily from Rep. Perry Warren's office about their love of the community and vision for the Gather Place.
