The Archie Project
The ARCHIE Project, an organization formed in 2019, was founded to raise funds to restore the interior of the Historic Archibald Johnston Mansion in Bethlehem Township’s Housenick Park.
Fall at the Mansion
We are pleased with the enormous turnout for our tour event which took place on October 17th. Despite the rain, everyone in line was able to be accommodated for the tour, with over 500 sign-ups! We are so appreciative of the support and for all who helped make this event such a success.
Weren’t able to attend the event? Take a gander at these beautiful photos from local photographer, Petra Somers!
Looking for a place to stretch your legs and enjoy the fresh air and warming temperatures?
Why not explore the local gem that is Housenick Park? Here you can enjoy the various features of the park like the gazebo and observation deck while gazing upon the mansion that is the subject of the Archie Project. The park is open from dusk until dawn every day.
Be considerate of others and maintain social distancing, but do come, enjoy, and share your photos on Social Media!
We look forward to a time in the near future when we will schedule fun, informative lectures and other activities at and around the Mansion.
