We have recently updated our website to provide a more engaging experience to members, visitors, donors, or those who want to be educated on the history of New Hope. It should be easier to contact us, join as a member, purchase tickets to events, or donate to the New Hope Historical Society. Over the next several months, we'll be adding our calendar of events, plus additional photos, and information from our archives.


In the meantime, make sure to visit the New Hope Historical Society, take a tour of the Parry Mansion, or take a walking tour of our town.


We hope to see you soon.
