ABOUT US
The Longwamp Township Historical Society (LTHS), a 501(c)3, non-profit charitable organization, has been discovering, preserving, sharing the past and historic culture of Longswamp Township since 2011. The society was authorized by the Longswamp Township Board of Supervisors in Resolution No. 2009-22 and was adopted October 27, 2009.
The society serves the Longswamp community. Its museum and library collections include many artifacts, documents, manuscripts, and photographs from the Longswamp Township area that have been generously donated or acquired. Our collections serve as a great repository for historians, history buffs, genealogists and anyone who wishes to learn more about the township's past: people, places and things.
With the recent acquisition of the Mertztown Train Station, the LTHS is actively working to raise the needed funds to adaptively reuse the building as its headquarters, to house and display its collections of artifacts, and provide educational outreach programming.
