About Us

The CCHPN, primarily, provides support to those on the front lines of the effort: the historical commissions, historical and architectural review boards, and historic property owners of Chester County. In addition we try to build connections between professional and avocational preservationists, to be a countywide network allowing expertise and knowledge to flow from those who have it to those who need it.

CCHPN Mission Statement:

The Chester County Historic Preservation Network is an affiliation of local organizations and individuals dedicated to protecting and preserving Chester County’s historic resources and landscapes through education, facilitation, and public and private advocacy.

We hold two educational meetings in the autumn and a workshop in the spring on current historic preservation issues and regional architectural styles.

We hold a Volunteer Recognition Celebration every summer during which we recognize the preservation volunteers in the county, highlighting their successes and challenges, and thanking them for their ongoing commitment.

We publish a quarterly newsletter, The Chester County Ledger, to support our meetings and workshops and to highlight issues that affect the county’s historic resources.

In 2004 we began to provide support to the development of the Chester County Historic Resources Atlas, an update of the county’s inventory of historic resources. This is a project of the Chester County Parks and Recreation Department.

Starting in 2005, we have become a sponsoring partner in the county Town Tours and Village Walks, which grows every year thanks to the efforts of county staff and countless volunteers around the county, and the generous support of the Chester County Department of Parks and Recreations and the Chester County Conference and Visitors Bureau.

We welcome any input from those whom we try to represent: the preservationists of Chester County and any person or group with an interest in our historic resources. We invite everyone to attend our functions, participate in our activities and join the CCHPN as a member.

As a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, all donations are tax-deductible.
