The Sinking Spring Historical Society
The Sinking Spring Area Historical Society and Heritage Park began in 1977 when the Society was organized. In 1978, the Save Our Station Committee organized for the purpose of saving the former Sinking Spring Station and Freight House. Today the combined organization is dedicated to preserving the area’s history and maintaining the historic buildings in Heritage Park.
Heritage Park is located in Sinking Spring near the Borough and Fire Company’s community grounds. The 1872 station, along with a small turn-of-the-century office building and circa 1926 railroad signal building, serve as a museum housing local historic and railroad memorabilia along with the Society’s archives. The 1858 Freight House serves as the Society’s meeting place and is used for special functions and is available for private gatherings.
The Society meets on a quarterly basis (usually September, November, March and May), generally on a third Wednesday at 7:30 PM with occasional exceptions. Members enjoy programs about historical topics, along with an annual dinner and a newsletter issued twice a year containing local historical articles. Annual membership is $10.00 per person. The Society is always open to new members, volunteers to maintain the property, and local memorabilia donations for the museum. The Society has established an endowment fund for the future maintenance of Heritage Park and welcomes your contributions. The Society is a 501(c) (3) tax deductible, non-profit organization. For more information, contact President Paul L. Miller at 610-678-4219.
