Durham Historical Society
The Durham Historical Society is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in Durham, Pennsylvania. It is dedicated to the study and preservation of the history of Durham Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
Mission
The Society focuses on documenting and preserving the local history, which includes early European colonial settlement, industrial enterprises such as iron furnaces and mills, and agricultural practices. The area has been historically significant due to its early extractive industries and its role in America's independence struggles.
Activities
The Durham Historical Society hosts regular meetings, typically on the fourth Tuesday of each month. These meetings often feature special speaker presentations on historical topics, especially in the Durham Mill, although activities have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mill Restoration Fund
One of the Society's notable projects is the restoration of the Durham Gristmill. In collaboration with Durham Township, the Society aims to renovate the mill to demonstrate the milling of locally grown grains and to ensure it is suitable for educational purposes. Contributions to this effort are welcomed and support the maintenance of the structure as a historical and educational resource.
Membership and Community Engagement
Membership is open to anyone interested in history. Members receive invitations to programs, special events such as Historical Speakers Presentations and Community Day Celebrations, and access to the Society's publications, including annual reports.
The Society's efforts contribute to the preservation of local heritage and provide educational opportunities for both residents and visitors, highlighting the significance of Durham Township in American history.
