Membership Makes a Difference

What Your Membership Means For Millbrook:

​

“Forward into the Past” is more than just an intriguing play on words. It encapsulates our mission, an organization driven and moving forward in inspiring a passion for preserving and protecting our local Hatboro history and our treasured past.

​

Your membership is one of our few resources to help achieve this mission.... together.

 

Your new or continuing membership in The Millbrook Society helps us -- as a team -- conduct educational activities that honor Hatboro's history, remember railroads, memorialize manuscripts, investigate genealogy, and advance archeology. Your financial support has allowed Millbrook to set educational displays with Union Library Hatboro, serve on the new Crooked Billet Elementary School history committee, participate in events at sites like Moland House and Richard Wall House, update our historical wardrobe, and publish our popular The Grist quarterly member journal.

​

Funds raised through membership also help cover costs of operating the Hatboro History Museum at Pennypack and the Millbrook Research & Archives Center at Hatboro Baptist Church and keep them open to the public. They also are the main source of assistance in allowing us to continue to provide the community with the annual Crooked Billet History Fair which saw over 400 visitors in 2025.

​

Millbrook also advocated for the "Vote Yes" referendum that helps preserve historic Union Library Hatboro and its history and heritage of service to our community. Society staff also continues providing vigilance and voice during the Victorian Village project and its impact on the historic Boileau and Cressbrook properties to ensure historic protection and preservation remained top of mind. 

 

Your membership in The Millbrook Society is what allows us to complete our mission each year! Without your support financially, physically, and organizationally, Millbrook (as with other organizations like ours) will struggle to survive for the next generation of the Hatboro community.

​

​Without our members, none of what we do would be possible!
