In today’s column, we will visit Seidel’s Cherryville Hotel, later Betty Seidel’s Gift Shop, and share some of Cherryville’s history with photographs from our friends at Lehigh Township Historical Society. A history of Lehigh Township can be found in the society’s book “Images of America: Lehigh Township, 2002.”
