St. Paul's Schoolhouse, also a museum of sorts, was entrusted to the Society in 2007, with the understanding it would be restored and open to the public. We hold a special event and open house at the schoolhouse every year.

Owners included the Minnichs, Kahles, Fenstermakers and the Tuttles. Lehigh Township purchased the park in 1977 and finally closed it as an amusement park in 1983.

Edgemont Park began operation in 1902 by the Blue Ridge Traction Company as a picnic ground along its trolley line. During the Great Depression the park was taken over by the bank. It was later owned by a number of different families, including the Gallaghers, Minnichs, Deschlers the Cerrones and Sennecas, and the Morrises. Edgemont Park closed in 1964.
