Chestnut Hill Conservancy

Chestnut Hill Conservancy was founded in 1967 as the Chestnut Hill Historical Society by neighbors working to save a local historic building. Organizers soon recognized that the area’s character is illuminated by its architecture, but also by neighboring Wissahickon Park & its green inspiration throughout the community, & by layers of history both evident & invisible. We envision Chestnut Hill as a green, vibrant, historic urban Philadelphia village that respects and celebrates its historic and natural resources; takes advantage of the social and economic value of preservation and conservation; and prioritizes contextual harmony and enduring quality in new development. Chestnut Hill Conservancy is now highly regarded for effective creative preservation & conservation advocacy, its publicly-accessible archives, engaging& innovative “stealth education” programming, & collaboration across disciplines & other boundaries. CHC is an education center &advocate for balanced growth & preservation to sustain the area’s vibrant, green, historic, urban village character.
