KING RANCH: Going back in time

I predict they're going to need a third bus.
Kathleen Hood came to the West Marlborough Township supervisors' April meeting to inform them that on Thursday evening, August 1, there will be a free bus tour of Doe Run and the old King Ranch, led by two former cowboys, Kenny Young and Rocky Dillow. Tourgoers will visit Springdell, Chapel Road, the feed lots, the former ranch office, and the township building in Doe Run, where there will be displays of memorabilia. The tour will last about 50 minutes and the two buses will leave from South Brandywine Middle School starting at 4 p.m. It's part of the Chester County Planning Commission's annual summer series of "town tours and village walks." 
As soon as I shared the news on social media, people started asking how they can sign up. Kathleen said that online reservations can be made through EventBrite, but the site is not yet live. She said it should be "up" by the end of April. Kathleen, by the way, is the author of "Echoes in the Glen: St. Malachi's in Doe Run."
