Collegeville planning community photo

COLLEGEVILLE — Show your support for Collegeville and the Perkiomen Bridge Hotel by being part of a community photo at the hotel at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 18.

Coordinated by the Collegeville Main Street Program, the photo will be part of its entry in a national contest sponsored by the National Trust for Historic Preservation entitled “This Place Matters.” The goal is to have several hundred supporters in the snapshot. Participants will be given a flier to be held up stating “This Place Matters.”

Currently vacant and up for sale, The Perkiomen Bridge Hotel is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was used by passers-by for food and lodging beginning in 1706.

Contact Flederbach at 610-454-1050 or e-mail manager@collegevilledevelopment.org if you plan on being part of the photo. A rain date has been scheduled for Wednesday, August 19 at 6 p.m.
