Our Board of Directors and over 400 members keep New Hope’s rich history alive through the various community activities and educational programs that we present throughout the year. The New Hope Historical Society’s office is located in the elegant eighteenth century Georgian-style Parry Mansion. It was the home of the “father of New Hope”, Benjamin Parry, and five generations of the Parry family. The New Hope Historical Society purchased this beautiful structure from Margaret Parry Lang in 1966 and, arguably, saved it from the wrecking ball. It is located across the street from the Parry Barn, which our founding members had saved from demolition in 1958.
