Harborcreek Historical Society: Collecting Harborcreek' s History 

 

For nearly 30 years, the Harborcreek Historical Society has been collecting, preserving, and sharing the history of the township, and it now maintains a collection of photographs, family histories, personal and business records, and more spanning 200 years. The society was created in 1994 as part of the planning for the bicentennial celebration of the City of Erie, and today is headquartered at the Gifford-Blanchfield House, one of the oldest farmhouses in the township. In this "Community Conversation," we'll take a closer look at the collections and special projects of the society.
