"Preserving and celebrating the creative and historic significance of Doylestown and its neighboring communities". Collecting and preserving artifacts of our past is a major activity of the Society. But we also collect stories. The narratives are the human connection to our past and it is these stories that help bring history alive. Without the stories, all those photos, documents, and objects are just interesting things to look at. We also celebrate our past with events that commemorate Doylestown's people, places and events, so that they may long be remembered.
