New Freedom Heritage is a 503c not-for-profit organization dedicated to preserving the rich history and culture of New Freedom, Pennsylvania. It was founded on June 15, 2004 by several members of the New Freedom Community Gardeners whose hope was to promote a better future for the community. That is still an important part of the mission today.
Since it’s inception, New Freedom Heritage has had a significant impact on the community. Activities and projects have included:
– Annual New Freedom Fest
– Creation of the Freedom Green Community Park
– Creation of the Heritage Museum of New Freedom and an interactive kiosk
– Summertime free outdoor movie nights
– Town murals
– Recording local history
– Monthly speaker series
– Stream rehabilitation
– Members picnic on the Green

New Freedom Fest is an old-time “festival of small town life”. It includes 3 stages of music, dance and entertainment, arts and crafts, animals, food, games, an art tent with pumpkin painting, and much, much more – all centered around the beautiful and historic town of New Freedom, Pennsylvania.
This dance card is from the 1929 New Freedom High School Junior and Senior prom. Maybe dance cards are something that we need to bring back! What do you think? ... See MoreSee Less
Please consider supporting New Freedom Heritage during Give Local York this week!
We are fortunate to receive a growing number of meaningful and unique items from local residents. However, our current museum space is quickly reaching capacity. To continue preserving and sharing our community’s history, we are exploring opportunities to expand and improve our facilities—and we need your help to make that possible.
New Freedom Heritage plays an important role in our community. From maintaining the New Freedom Green for families to enjoy, to hosting events like movie nights, Flags for Heroes, the New Freedom Market, and New Freedom Fest, we are committed to keeping our town vibrant and connected.
If you’re able, please consider making a donation this week. Every contribution helps us continue our mission and plan for the future.
