Pennsbury Historic Resource Survey |
The Pennsbury Township Historic Resource Survey was an 18-month project,
completed in 2009, that documented 207 historic properties in the Township. These
historic properties contained 361 historic resources. The survey
fulfilled the Township's portion of the Chester County Historic Resource Atlas.
All historic resources over 50 years of age were documented on Pennsylvania
Historic Resource Survey Forms.
The survey was initiated by the historical commission and was partially funded by
the Chester County Vision Partnership Program. The township had two earlier surveys
– the 117-resource county survey of 1982 and an 82-resource township survey.
Wise documented the resources on the two surveys and merged the numbers into a
single numbering system. Altogether, the survey documented 361 historic resources
in the Township. Other components of the project included a methodology report,
an inventory of historic properties, and the drafting of a flyer outlining the
project's purposes and results. Click here to see a pdf of
the flyer.
