Poignant Video Explains Why Chester County Historical Society Needs Your Vote to Win Grant

Now is your chance to save history.

Listen.

You can almost hear echoes of the first Pennsylvania Women’s Rights Convention, held in 1852, in architect Thomas U. Walter’s Horticultural Hall, which is now the home of the Chester County Historical Society. A leaking roof and crumbling chimneys are threatening this historically and architecturally significant building. Fortunately, though, CCHS has been chosen as one of 20 historic sites in the nation to compete for preservation funding during an online voting campaign. The grant would secure funding for roof repairs and ensure that the echoes of the past reverberate into the future.
