Lehigh Township Historical Society Historical Place - Museum On April 23, 2001, the Society was incorporated as a non-profit corporation in the state of Pennsylvania. The grand opening of St.

The Lehigh Township Historical Society was organized in 2001 and recognized as the official Historical Society of Lehigh Township on February 13, 2001. The society is housed in the Lehigh Township Historical Centre is located in what was known as the "Trading Post" at the former Indian Trail Park. The grand opening of the Lehigh Township Historical Centre was held on July 14, 2007 after the buildi

ng restoration was completed. In June of 2007, the Lehigh Township Historical Society signed a lease with St. Paul's UCC of Indianland to restore and maintain St. Paul's Schoolhouse with the stipulation that the building was to be open to the public as a museum. Paul's Schoolhouse was held on July 10, 2010. The two buildings are maintained by Lehigh Township Historical Society members. Through dues, fundraisers and donations (plus a few small grants ), the Society has managed to make remarkable progress over the past twenty years — 2021 marked our twentieth anniversary! The Historical Centre houses memorabilia — mainly donated by Society members and Township residents — consisting of displays, photos, maps, and genealogy. A visit to the Historical Centre is a step back in time. The Schoolhouse is a good example of early educational architecture in the United States. The Schoolhouse contains donated artifacts which were used while schoolhouses were in operation and has a one-room classroom setting for grades one through eight. The Schoolhouse, which was built in 1865 and was closed in 1951, provides a heritage education to school children and adults. The Lehigh Township Historical Society encourages visitors to experience first-hand a day in the St. Paul's Schoolhouse. The Society also invites our guests to visit the Historical Centre and learn what life was like in Lehigh Township (and the surrounding community) in past years.
