Amwell Township Historical Society Preserving and collecting the rich history of Amwell Township in Washington County, PA. ATHS was established in 2004 as a non-profit organization.

Our goal is to save valuable history of Amwell Township and the surrounding area. We have restored the Cook-Dodd Cabin in Amity, and have a display room in the Amwell Township building to display historical artifacts, articles and photographs we have collected. We have restored and updated the War Memorials in Amity and Lone Pine as well. Currently we are working to clean up and restore the Old Vankirk Cemetery off of Johnson Rd!
