The Boyertown Area Historical Society
was established in 1972 to preserve
the history of the Boyertown area.  
The Society's building was constructed
in 1902 by local industrialist, George Unger.  
In the 1920's, the Archdiocese of Allentown
purchased the property and established
St. Columbkill Roman Catholic Church
in the home.  In the early 1950's, a stone
facade and additional stained glass windows
were added to the building.

The area served by the Historical Society
comprises the boroughs of Boyertown, Bally,
and Bechtelsville and the townships of
Colebrookdale, Douglas Berks, Douglas
Montgomery, Earl, New Hanover,
Upper Frederick, and Washington.

New members are always welcome.
