Old York Road Historical Society covers the history of the communities along and adjacent to Old York Road from Philadelphia to New Hope with special emphasis on eastern Montgomery County. The society is the major historical repository for the townships of Abington, Cheltenham, Lower and Upper Moreland, and the boroughs of Bryn Athyn, Hatboro, Jenkintown, and Rockledge.

The spring portion of the 2025-2026 Lecture Series will resume on Wednesday, March 11th at 7:30PM as Jim Rubillo presents Little Known Revolutionary War Naval Encounters: Philadelphia to Cape May. Please join us in person at Abington Friends Meeting or virtually on Zoom. Looking forward to seeing you there!

The Spring 2026 issue of The Corridor will be available soon! Find a copy of the Fall issue here or stop by the Society to pick one up.
