As part of the 2010 history theme “African American in Pennsylvania: Communities in Common” a historic resource survey was completed in eight communities throughout Pennsylvania.  The study should be used as a framework for future research and studies into African American related resources. Please follow the links below, or by using the map, to read sections of this study. Each community chapter contains information on the resources of the community (both past and present), the status of the properites, as well as photographs and a historical context.
