Oktoberfest 2019
On Oct. 26, Oktoberfest moves to the Freight House, with German music, local beer and lots to eat! Work up an appetite with our grueling Zer0.5K Race. Yes, that's half a K, but don't worry, we include rest stops! Full details!
Cruise Night
Saturday, Sept. 14, we rolled out our hot rods and roadsters, and relived those fabulous days when we cruised the streets of Lansdale. We had fun, fun, fun, till Daddy took the T-Bird away! Click for details!

Thank you for a fabulous Founders Day!

The following is a message from the 2019 Founders Day Committee:

It is really hard to put into simple words what an absolutely FABULOUS day it was here in Lansdale. We hope everyone was able to enjoy several of the MANY activities that went on throughout the whole day.

SO many people to thank. It literally takes a small army working well together to make this whole thing come together, it is such an incredible group effort.

Everyone on the Founders day planning committee and Discover Lansdale would like to thank EVERYONE who was involved. Just about every Lansdale Borough department and many more were involved, including Parks & Rec, Public Works, Electric, Code, Police Department, Fire Department, as well as Lansdale Library, Lansdale Historical Society, Chamber of Commerce for Greater Montgomery County, local Boy Scout troops, SEPTA, New Hope and Pennsylvania Northeasern Railroads, Reading Railroad Museum and the many local businesses that helped sponsor the day, plus many Lansdale residents that volunteered to help out in various ways.

And a special thank-you to our 2019 Founders Day sponsors:
Once again, just an incredible group effort.
To all, THANK YOU! And see you next year!

Help restore the historic Freight House

Watch for new volunteer days as work continues at Lansdale's historic Reading Freight House.

The exterior deck and old crane hoist are gone, the Liberty Trail is well underway, and the deck's stone piers, made of the same stone as the building, were saved to be reclaimed.

The old wood flooring is still available for sale, in varying lengths at $6 per foot. And we will be selling souvenir benches made from that wood in the near future. All income goes right to the restoration fund.
