 Can you say “Quasquicentennial?”

In 2004, Perkasie Borough celebrated its Quasquicentennial, otherwise known as its 125th Anniversary.

Lee Metzer and Samuel Brubaker from the Perkasie Anniversary and Historical Society were part of the committee responsible for planning and coordination of the events.

The most popular event was the Quasquicentennial Excursion Train between Perkasie and Quakertown. Other events included a Parade and Gala.

Souvenirs included the Quasquicentennial Coins and postcards.

Perkasie Historical Society, founded in 1954, strives to help preserve the history of Perkasie Borough. It is located at 513 W. Walnut St., Perkasie. Visit and donate to the Society here.
