Christian C. Sanderson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christian Carmack Sanderson (1882-1966) was a teacher, fiddler, square dance caller, poet, and noted local historian in southeastern Pennsylvania in the early to mid-20th century.[1] He corresponded with a wide range of notable people of his time and was a remarkable collector of historical memorabilia (which are the basis of the collections on display in the Christian C. Sanderson Museum).
Sanderson lived the latter part of his life in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania and was friends with the Wyeth family there (including artists N.C., Andrew and Jamie).
Chris Sanderson is the subject of a biography written by his friend Thomas R. Thompson.[2] and a documentary film by Karen Kuder.[3]
