Membership Makes a Difference

“Forward into the Past” is more than just an intriguing “play on words”: they encapsulate our Mission! “We are driven-moving FORWARD-to inspire passion for preserving and protecting our local history-our treasured PAST.” Your membership helps achieve our Mission-together! 

Your membership in The Millbrook Society helped us conduct educational activities that remembered railroads, honored Hatboro’s history, memorialized manuscripts, investigated genealogy and advanced archaeology. We set educational displays with Union Library and served on the history committee for the future new Crooked Billet Elementary School. Your financial support provides for updating our historical wardrobe, maintains our museum displays and collection, as well as publishing our popular The Grist quarterly member journal.

Millbrook also advocated for the VOTE YES referendum that help preserve the historic Union Library of Hatboro, its history and heritage of service to our community. Society staff also continues providing vigilance and voice during the Victorian Village project and its impact on the historic Boileau and Cressbrook properties to ensure historic protection and preservation remained top of mind. 

Your membership in our Society is what allows us to complete our mission each year! Funds raised through membership and other fundraising programs go towards operational costs of the Society, and sponsoring projects and events.

Without our members, none of what we do would be possible!
