History Of Worcester Historical Society of Pennsylvania

The Worcester Historical Society was founded to preserve Worcester Township’s history during the national Bicentennial celebrations. The society’s first meeting at Farmers Union Hall led to efforts for federal recognition and the creation of a commemorative quilt, now a treasured artifact on display. The quilt, featuring scenes from Worcester’s past, was central to the society’s early activities.

The society’s projects included documenting ancient trees and publishing a 556-page history of the township, which remains a key reference. They also acquired the historic Dutchie Church in 1984. Today, the society preserves artifacts and continues to expand exhibits showcasing Worcester’s history
