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 fall portion of the 2025-2026 Lecture Series has concluded. We are in the process of scheduling for the spring. Lectures will resume on Wednesday, March 11th at 7:30PM.

The Fall issue of The Corridor is now available! Find a copy here or stop by the Society to pick one up.
