OUR HERITAGE. . .
Our community has a wealth of buildings with a flair and creativity of
detail worthy of close attention. A story of small town growth speaks
through evident changes along Main Street and our historic side streets.
With a dramatic mix of Victorian façades, modern adaptation
and hints of pre-Victorian simplicity, the Upper Perkiomen Valley allows
residents and visitors alike to step back and imagine a time of quiet
village life.
Superb buildings sit alone, separated from their past,
yet still announcing their story to those who stop to listen. Others
merge in a district, boldly whisking a visitor back to a time long ago.
The Heritage Committee seeks to bring our neighborhoods alive:
to be a place where the past is treasured and valued, where homes and
businesses tell stories for future generations to hear and appreciate.
Goals of the Heritage Committee of Upper Perk Downtown include:
- Create self-guided, historic, interpretive driving/walking tours of our community.
- Assist
our local governments to define historic districts and recognize their
value to our community.
- Promote Heritage Tourism, inviting local residents and visitors to our
community to stroll our streets and discover our valley’s rich heritage.
