Welcome to the Chadds Ford Historical Society

Formed in 1968 by a group of concerned citizens to save the crumbling c. 1725 John Chads House, the Society has grown into the community-oriented organization it is today through the support of generous individuals like you.

The Chadds Ford Historical Society receives little funding from governmental or private institutions, relying instead on donations from its loyal members in order to successfully pursue its mission of preservation, interpretation, and education concerning the way of life in the 18th century.

Won't you continue to help us attain our goal by renewing your membership today? Please take a moment to fill out a membership form and return it to us after marking the category of your choice.
