Pennsylvania’s Wissahickon Valley Region: A Story Worth Telling
Hello Everyone!
My name is Yen Ho, and I’ve been a member of the Wissahickon Valley Historical Society for 3
years. I am currently a graduate student at Drexel University, pursuing a Master’s degree in
Library and Information Science. Prior to Drexel, I earned my Bachelor’s degree in historic
preservation.
I always have a curiosity about my hometown in Ambler (technically I live in Whitpain
Township). What sparked my curiosity was the old buildings/homes that are still standing today
in the Wissahickon Valley (Ambler, Whitpain, and Lower Gwynedd). I want to know their
history, and whether or not they should be recognized.
I have a history background, and I have the opportunity to express it through my research in my
blog.
