Jane Austen Society of North America - Pittsburgh Region
The Pittsburgh region meets 4-6 times a year in various venues around the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area. Some of these meetings include informal teas with group discussion. Some include a viewing and discussion of a movie adaptation of a Jane Austen novel.
Others are more formal luncheons. These luncheons feature speakers who discuss Jane Austen, her life, books, and movies, as well as Regency England.
In Chawton today, we are thinking of Lieutenant Philip Carpenter, tragically killed in action in Italy in 1944. It was in his memory that his father, Mr Thomas Edward Carpenter, purchased this house for the nation.
