New Freedom Heritage is a 503c not-for-profit organization dedicated to preserving the rich history and culture of New Freedom, Pennsylvania.

That is still an important part of the mission today.

– Annual New Freedom Fest More
– Creation of the Freedom Green Community Park More
– Creation of the Heritage Museum of New Freedom and an interactive kiosk

• Two movie nights (we are looking for someone to help with this next year)
• A float in the Christmas parade
• A new museum sign (thanks to the Borough for providing the pole and installing it)
• Sanded and painted the picnic tables at the Green
• Brick drainage from off of the rail trail (thanks to an Eagle Scout project)
• Several very interesting guest speakers talking about the history of the area

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.Comment on Facebook
