Chichester Historical Society (CHS), which encompasses the surrounding Chichester area, including Lower Chichester, Marcus Hook, Trainer and Upper Chichester was founded back in the 1980’s. More recently it has grown and solidified as an organization. Over the last few years the organization has developed a strong foundation with its members, who are not only interested in the rich history of Chichester but also interested in sharing its history with the public as well as working with the different entities of the townships to create awareness and help preserve the heritage of Chichester.
Our commitment to working with the public can be seen in some of our recent projects; CHS has participated in the ‘Passport to History’ program where we teamed up with local schools to encourage children to visit local historic sites during their summer vacation. We have worked to save an iconic Springhouse. Set up and ran a very successful walking tour in Marcus Hook. Also, one of our important projects was working with Upper Chichester Township to pass an ordinance that requires the application for a Historic Structure Demolition Permit prior to the demolition of a historic property.
The Chichester Historical Society typically meets every third Monday of the Month at 7:30 PM. Upper Chichester Township has allowed our organization to use a meeting room in the Field House on Furey Rd. Anyone from the public is welcome to attend a meeting.
