New Freedom Heritage is a 503c not-for-profit organization dedicated to preserving the rich history and culture of New Freedom, Pennsylvania. It was founded on June 15, 2004 by several members of the New Freedom Community Gardeners whose hope was to promote a better future for the community. That is still an important part of the mission today.
Since it’s inception, New Freedom Heritage has had a significant impact on the community. Activities and projects have included:
– 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
– Summertime free outdoor movie nights
– Town murals
– Recording local history
– Monthly speaker series
– Stream rehabilitation
– Members picnic on the Green

• 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
