Warwick Township Historical Society

The Warwick Township Historical Society (WTHS) is an all-volunteer nonprofit organization dedicated to keeping history alive. The Society was founded in 1993 to save the John Moland House (ca. 1754). This historic house was abandoned in 1986, and finally was condemned due to neglect. 

Now, over thirty years later, it stands as a proud monument to our nation’s past and to General Washington and the 11,000 troops who camped here for 13 days in August, 1777.  At this National Register house, the Marquis de Lafayette and Count Casimir Pulaski joined the American cause. 

The WTHS was responsible for the fundraising, planning, and oversight of the restoration. Our mission today has expanded significantly, as we are responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the Moland House and grounds.  We pay all bills and make the improvements necessary to the property to keep it safe and inviting.  

But, if we do not get more volunteers for leadership roles and tasks like gardening, landscaping, and archival work, this beautiful resource could disappear in a few years.  

On the twelve acres that surround the house there is a nature trail that winds for a mile through the woods with educational stops along the way.  We feature a picnic grove with tables and charcoal grills, and a great place to fish on the banks of the Neshaminy Creek.  Our formal Colonial-style garden is magnificent from spring through fall and has become a favored place for family, weddings and graduation photographs. The Moland House museum features 18th century furnishings and other period items. We offer house tours featuring open hearth cooking, woodworkers and blacksmithing. Our popular Spring Tea and Winter Luncheon both feature a special speaker.
