Penickpacka Historical Society Bulletin
The Penickpacka Historical Society was active from 1966 to 2001 and was interested in the history of Lower Moreland and Bryn Athyn. When the organization folded, members were encouraged to join the Old York Road Historical Society. Some of the papers of the organization were turned over to the Old York Road Historical Society including a number of the back issues of the Penickpacka’s journal. The journal was issued annually, with two exceptions, from 1980 to 2001.
