Welcome to Sadsbury History
Connect With Our Township’s Past
Special Thanks:
The Sadsbury Township Historical Society was active until around the time of COVID. Many of the Society’s dedicated volunteers are no longer with us, but I hope they would be pleased to see this website. One of their greatest contributions is the many hours they devoted to producing the Sadsbury Township Tri-Centennial 1682-1982 booklet.
Much of what is included in that booklet is what would be classified as “oral history”: it includes many fascinating details and anecdotes about individuals, farms, and businesses in Sadsbury Township history that are probably not written down anywhere else. Those unique details add color to the historical facts that can be documented from written sources. The booklet also includes a map of the township showing the locations of many historical properties described in the main text.
This booklet is a labor of love and scholarship from the Sadsbury Township Historical Society that can be viewed here:
