We are OPEN for walk-in visitors on Wednesdays 11AM-3PM!

Face masks are required and the Society would request that only those vaccinated come in. This is to protect our volunteers who staff the public hours. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

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 Lecture Series continues on April 12th at 7:30pm with The Mines and Minerals of Montgomery County by Ron Sloto. In-person at Abington Friends Meeting or virtually by logging in here. Details will be posted the day of the lecture.
