    The Chester County Historical Society was gifted one amazing Autograph Collection.  From Einstein to Roosevelt and everyone in between...if you were famous or noteworthy in 1938/39, Dr. Davidson wrote requesting your autograph on "first-day covers" (postage stamps).  He made the request on behalf of his "little daughter who was badly burned".  During the long months of recovery Dr. Davidson sought to entertain and educate young Ann.

    The entire collection will be on display
