2023 Town Tours and Village Walks
Our Agricultural Heritage
This year's Town Tours and Village Walks program welcomed more than 1,500 individuals to explore Chester County's agricultural heritage through a series of presentations and tours this past June through August. As always, it was a great series of events which could not have happened without our wonderful partners and volunteers!
The program kicked off at the West Chester United Methodist Church on June 8, highlighting the transition from Chester County's colonial farms to neighborhoods and agri-businesses. Following the kickoff event, additional tours included the Westtown School; Thornbury Farm; Kennett Square Borough; Spackman-Davis Farm; Grove United Methodist Church; Historic Farms in Upper Uwchlan Township; Yeager's Farm & Market; and Historic Yellow Springs. Each of the tours was widely attended, with some seeing more than 200 (Historic Yellow Springs) and even 300 attendees (Spackman-Davis Farm).
This year marked the 29th year of the county's Town Tours and Village Walks program. Stay on the lookout for information about next year's program — celebrating 30 years!
