Updated August 6
The Lansdale Founders Day committee is saddened to receive word from the New Hope Railroad that their historic No.40 steam locomotive will not be able to attend our Founders Day festivities as originally planned.

According to the railroad, recent inspections revealed some issues with the locomotive requiring repair for safe operation in the future.

Needless to say, we are all very disappointed by this unfortunate news, and we know many of you will be too.

That being said, the planned excursions for the weekend of Founders Day will still be operated as scheduled using vintage diesel locomotives. The railroad has been notifying anyone who has already purchased tickets. If you have questions or want to purchase tickets visit: www.newhoperailroad.com

Founders Day happenings

Lansdale's biggest day of the year, Founders Day, is just ahead. Mark your calendars: August 24, all day, all around town! This year's celebration honors Lansdale's Park System, in memory of longtime Parks and Recreation chief Carl Saldutti. The theme: "Relax. Play. Swim"

We've just posted an early peek at the schedule (subject to change). So visit our Founders Day page and start planning what you're going to visit and when -- and be sure to leave time for the spectacular Fireworks Show that caps the evening around 9 pm!

Help restore  the historic  Freight House

New volunteer days have been scheduled for August as work continues at Lansdale's historic Reading Freight House.

We hope you can come out to give a hand on Sunday, Aug. 4 at 10 am, and Wednesday, Aug. 14 at 6:30 pm. Refreshments and snacks will be provided, though you can always bring goodies to share. (We could also use a reciprocating saw if you have one.)

The to-do list:
  • With all the concrete gone we have one more section of floor joists to remove. 
  • Continue to clean up the areas inside where joists have been removed. 
  • Clear the exterior vegetation that has grow the past several weeks
  • Bench building. We have a design for benches, 24" & 48" length, that we are going to build out of the old joists and flooring and sell as a fund raiser for the project. We are looking for some help with this, mainly some  cutting and sanding.  

The exterior deck and old crane hoist are gone, to make way for the Liberty Trail that will be going along the back of the building. The deck's stone piers, made of the same stone as the building, were saved to be reclaimed.

And mark your calendars for Founders Day, Aug. 24, when we'll have an informational display at the Freight House, and Saturday, Oct. 26 at the Freight House, for the Lansdale Oktoberfest and the return of the Frachthaus Zer0.5K. This is a fun fund raiser for the freight house.

The old wood flooring is still available for sale each work day. We have in varying lengths at $6 per foot. All income goes right to the restoration fund, and it's great Lansdale historic wood for all sorts of projects.
