From October 2002 through September 2004, nearly 5,600 volunteers, community partners, and PA CleanWays staff removed 40,156 tires and properly disposed of a staggering 2,673 tons of trash and scrap metal that was spoiling our greenways, waterways, forests, and roadways during 514 cleanups. Over 22,000 hours of volunteer time were donated. An additional 760 volunteers collected Board of Directors: nearly 15,700 tires through our Fugitive Tire Program.

The Lenn-Lenape Indians (meaning “original people’) lived in the area, seasonally, in villages along rivers and streams. Known as a peaceful farming and fishing tribe, they traded freely with settlers on their arrival in the 17th century. William Penn met the Indian Chiefs of the Delaware Nation on the land where Hilltown Village now sits. In those days, it was known as the "Perkasie Indian Town." Settlers, mostly Welsh Baptist, with the few Hugenots and English Quakers arrived in approximately 1700. They petitioned the King's Governor to establish a town in 1721. The Old Bethlehem Road (the Minsi Indian Trail), now called Hilltown Pike, was used from the year 1683 to travel from Philadelphia to the Durham iron mines.

  • Special Events at Shikellamy State Park
    TO: Area News Media FROM: Steve Kusheloff DATE: May 12, 2011 SUBJECT: SPECIAL EVENTS AT SHIKELLAMY STATE PARK A busy summer is planned at Shikellamy State Park in Sunbury. The Friends of Shikellamy State Park have planned several special activities including brunches, concerts, and rowing events. Shikellamy State park is divided into two facilities ─ the Marina along the portion of the Susquehanna River known as Lake Augusta, and the Overlook on Blue Hill across the River “The State Park is another of the great natural resources along the Susquehanna Greenway,” said Trish Carothers, Development and Outreach Officer, Susquehanna Greenway Partnership, “All summer long Lake Augusta is filled with boats of every kind, while the Overlook on Blue Hill is perfect for picnics and special family events.” At the Marina, there will be four Sunday Brunch at the Park events this year ─ June 5, July 3, August 7, and September 4. Area restaurants provide the meal, for a nominal fee, and music is offered by local musicians. Evening concerts will also be held at the Overlook on Blue Hill, coupled with wine, cheese, and chocolate tasting, again for a nominal fee. Concerts on Blue Hill are scheduled for June 9, July 14, and August 11. The annual Paddle Between the Parks is August 6 as canoeists and kayakers paddle from the Milton State Park to Shikellamy State Park. The summer comes to a close with a Sunday concert, September 18, featuring the Ann Kerstetter Blues Band and country music from the Frank Wicher Band. Julia Marano, Co-Chair of the Friends group, believes summer’s special events provide more than entertainment, “By coordinating public events at the Marina and the overlook, Friends of Shikellamy encourage the use and care of this natural treasure at our doorstep.” More information on special events at the Park this summer can be found at the Friends’ web site, www.friendsofshikellamystatepark.org .

Box 37127 Washington, D.C. 20013-7127 HISTORIC AMERICAN ENGINEERING RECORD y, SKIPPACK STONE ARCH BRIDGE |- HAER NO. PA-311 Location: Germantown Pike over Skippack Creek, Evansburg State Park, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Significance: The 1792 stone-arch Skippack Bridge is one of the oldest bridges in continuous use in the Unites States and possibly the oldest to have retained its original dimensions. It is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Description: Skippack Creek is a shallow, slow-moving stream which flows south past the Germantown Pike. Trees cover on the gentle slopes to either side of the site. A recently restored mill stands north of the bridge on the western bank, and its tailrace rejoins the creek near the western piers. Eight semi-circular arches, each approximately 20' at the spring line, carry Skippack Bridge across the creek. The bridge is 2 67' long and 24' wide, with the top of the coping approximately 21' feet above the waterline. Both approaches slope down towards the center of the bridge, though the roadway itself is flat. The arches and spandrels are recessed six inches from the parapet and wing walls. The bridge contains several types of masonry: Large stones make up the piers. The cut sandstone voussoirs are the only part of the original arches still visible; over the past two decades sections of the rubble stone intrados have been strengthened with injections of gunnite, and in 1992 all remaining exposed sections were covered.
