Historic Old Annville Day - Saturday, June 19, 2010

The date for Historic Old Annville Day in 2010 has been moved to June 19, the third Saturday in June, for this year only.

We are making this move to accommodate our Township police department, members of which will need to be on duty for most of the day. We will soon be providing more details on the day on this web site.
