The Haverford Township Historical Society is the only organization with the specific function of preserving property, documents and information of historic value pertaining to all of Haverford Township. To promote and sustain interest in the history of the community, the Society saved, rebuilt and furnished the 1710 Lawrence Cabin, now located on Karakung Drive in Powder Mill Valley Park, and entered into a formal agreement with Haverford Township to restore, maintain and administer Nitre Hall (1810) and the Federal School (1797). In these historic sites award winning educational programs are designed and staffed by the Historical Society.
