  • ca. 1999

File consists of two videocassettes. Items chronicle the history of one of Vaughan's founding families, the Bakers, who first settled in the area in 1800. The Bakers journeyed from Somerset County, Pennsylvania and lived in Vaughan until 1998. At that time, 3 generations of the Baker family returned to Pennsylvania due to the encroachment of development on their traditional way of life.
