About the Wissahickon Valley Historical Society...
Founded in 1975, The Wissahickon Historical Society's purpose is to preserve the local historical buildings, artifacts and folklore of the historic Wissahickon Valley. Our headquarters, the Whitpain Public School 1895 building, is located at the corner of Skippack Pike and School Road in Blue Bell, Montgomery County, PA. Our building houses a LIBRARY and MUSEUM of local artifacts. The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in December, 2006, for its unique architecture and for its role in education in Whitpain Township. Membership to the Wissahickon Valley Historical Society is open to all. Please <click here> to join!
THE SCHOOLHOUSE GETS A NEW ROOF...
The Whitpain Public School 1895 Building has a new cedar shake roof! Funds for the project come from the Pennsylvania Keystone Historic Preservation grant, the Pennsylvania DCED, and generous private donations from friends and members of the Wissahickon Valley Historical Society. The project was started on May 18, 2009 and is now complete! Please come and take a look!

...AND A CHIMNEY REPAIR...
