We are developing an interactive map that will feature the historical maps of the Township, the historic resources (and those that have been demolished), photos or videos of each site, and a text explanation of each one and its history. Click on the image below to go to the prototype. Our thanks to Society member Catherine Spahr for her work on this project.
