Mission Statement
The Lower Saucon Township Historical Society is a registered
Pennsylvania charity dedicated to restoration and preservation of the
Lutz-Franklin Schoolhouse, located in Lower Saucon Township, Pennsylvania.
Upon the successful restoration of the schoolhouse, the Lower Saucon Township
Historical Society will provide heritage education to school children
and adults through the establishment of the Lutz-Franklin Schoolhouse
Museum. The Museum will display artifacts (such as desks, maps, quill
pens) used while the schoolhouse was in operation from 1880 to 1957. We
will archive, maintain and display records and material documenting the
early history of Lower Saucon Township. We will encourage school groups
and other visitors to attend class and experience first hand a day in
the Lutz Franklin School in 1880. |
