For so long as one hundred men remain alive, we shall never under any conditions submit to the domination of the English. It is not for glory or riches or honours that we fight, but only for liberty, which no good man will consent to lose but with his life.

Audubon, Pennsylvania (home of the John Audubon mansion - Audubon Society)
We have the John James Audubon Museum and Audubon State Park here in Henderson. He lived here for @ 12 years. Where he did most of bird paintings. I believe they have almost all of his originals here. He started several businesses here, also. The ruins from one of them, a grist mill, can still be seen along the banks of the Ohio River here. They are actually having a fairly big arts and crafts festival at Audubon Park this weekend. Pulls them in from as far away as Virginia. Pretty neat if you like that stuff. I'm sure that I won't be so lucky and my wife will drag me to it.
Where in the (#?!*%) is Tylersport PA. Well we may be just a small town, but we do have our own albino kid on a bridge playing a banjo.
