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.
