Join the Waynesboro Historical Society on Thursday, September 17, at 6:30 p.m. at the Waynesboro YMCA for a free public presentation exploring the life and legacy of one of Waynesboro's most influential innovators.

Historian Ian Dawson of the Smithsburg Historical Society will present the fascinating story of Peter Geiser, a Waynesboro native whose groundbreaking threshing machine transformed agricultural manufacturing in the 19th century. Geiser's inventions not only shaped the economy of our local region but also helped modernize farming practices across the United States.

Learn how a small-town entrepreneur built a manufacturing enterprise that earned national recognition and left a lasting mark on American industry. This engaging lecture will examine Geiser's life, his innovations, and the far-reaching impact of his work.

Admission is free and open to the public. The presentation will be held at the Waynesboro YMCA and is sponsored by the Waynesboro Historical Society.
