Alice Howe and Freebo in concert at the mansion

In August of 2021, the Colerain Center hosted an outdoor concert by Alice Howe, a dynamic Americana singer-songwriter and guitarist, and Freebo, a veteran rock and folk musician who played bass in Bonnie Raitt's band during the 1970s and then with numerous stars over his career, including Dr. John, Ringo Starr, Neil Young and Maria Muldaur. About 75 people enjoyed a beautiful summer evening of incredible music from the mansion's front porch.

Partnership with Old Bedford Village's Dave Petit

Dave Petit, the groundskeeper and blacksmith at Old Bedford Village near Bedford, is generously working with us on piecing together the early history of the mansion and the surrounding iron-making village, drawing  from  his research into the life of mansion owner and ironmaster William McDermott and his place in the local iron industry during the 1830s. We hope to have Dave talk about central Pennsylvania's iron-making heritage and his traditional blacksmithing.
