Excellent essay written by Laini Abraham for the Easton Post about a little piece of our history.

Did Robert Levers read the Declaration of Independence in Easton on July 8, 1776? The archives, a family scrapbook, and 250 years of history.

Were you unable to attend our inaugural meeting? Our event garnered coverage in the Lehigh Valley News, providing insight into our organization. For a recap, we will be sharing articles, summaries, and brief videos from the event over the next few days.

A new citizen-led nonprofit has officially launched in Easton, bringing together residents and community advocates concerned about rapid downtown development, preservation standards and public access to planning decisions.

What a fantastic inaugural meeting we had last night! Great turnout and the representation from the community was just incredible. We had elected officials, students and everything in between.
The young and the young at heart, the ones whose passion led them to work in government or to run for office, and the ones whose passion is more subtle but just as strong.
The ones who just wanted to find out what we are about, and the ones that were ready to get to work.
They all came out to see how together we can make Easton everything that we think it can be while preserving our historic district, the history of our entire city, our historic communities and with that preserving our future!
