The Liberty Bell Trail Feasibility Study 2020 Update has been completed. This project was financed, in part, by grants from the Community Conservation Partnership Program, Keystone Recreation, Park and Conservation Fund, under the administration of the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Bureau of Recreation and Conservation; and the Greenways, Trails & Recreation Program under the administration of the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development. Gilmore & Associates completed the update to the 2005 study in December of 2020 and the executive summary and maps are below. This was a multi municipal project and we thank our surrounding communities for their participation and encouragement. This will be a major accomplishment for the trail system and we hope to get started with smaller projects and gain additional grant funding to make this Corridor of History a reality.

Perkasie Borough Memorial Flag Program
For many years, the Borough of Perkasie has installed small American flags on the decorative street light poles around town. The Borough Council has decided to move forward with a commemorative program that will allow the Borough to install much larger flags. Supporters are invited to consider “purchasing” a flag and custom commemorative plaque that will be installed on a street lamp pole in the Borough.

Each memorial flag set purchased will consist of a 2 ½ foot x 4’ American flag, a spinner pole with gold top, and an 4” x 6” custom engraved memorial plaque. Each set will be installed by Borough employees. Custom engraving is limited to 20 characters per line, with a maximum of 4 lines.
