This program, presented by LHS President Pat Rieker, will feature some of Lansdale’s landmark buildings, and will include a discussion of local efforts to preserve them. Since summer 2023, LHS members have asked borough council to consider several measures to help protect and preserve historic buildings, and have since worked with borough staff to develop a registry of such properties around the town.
All programs are held at Lansdale Borough Hall, One Vine Street, Lansdale. There is no admission charge, but donations are appreciated.
