Parkesburg’s Sesquicentennial
arkesburg is hosting an historic actionpacked three-day Sesquicentennial Celebration on the weekend of May 20, 21 and 22, 2022 and you are invited! We are excited to unveil our line-up for the Parkesburg Sesquicentennial Celebration which has been pieced together as a colorful patchwork of festivities stitched together with the vibrant thread of Parkesburg history. Parkesburg, settled originally by ScotchIrish settlers, was first known as the Fountain Inn and predates the Revolutionary War. An early center of commerce for western Chester County, it experienced growth due to its location on the Limestone Pike and the nearby Lancaster Philadelphia Turnpike. Rapid growth ignited in 1831 when the tracks of the Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad were laid through Fountain
Inn on its westward expansion. Renamed Parkesburg in 1836 after the landowning Parke Family, the town saw exponential growth after Horace Beale moved his Iron Company from Hibernia to Parkesburg in 1872, the same year Parkesburg became a Chester County Borough. And here we are, 150 years later, honoring the formation of the Borough of Parkesburg! So “What
is planned?” you might ask. Starting on Friday night, May 20th, the festivities will launch with a Victorian Night on Main
Street from 5 p.m. through 9 p.m. with a variety of activities and entertainment. A wide array of artists, crafters, dancers and musicians will greet visitors in the various Main Street buildings that will be open for the evening. Festivities on Saturday, May 21st ignite from 10 a.m. through 10 p.m when we showcase a parade as well as an exciting cluster of free family-fun activities in Minch Park. From Historic Trolley Rides to a Fine Arts and Craft Show to a Children’s History Carnival, to Band and Dance Performances to a L i v i n g - H i s t o ry Revolutionary and Civil War Encampment to History Displays to the Octorara’s OABEST Display to Train Rides & Hayrides to the Anniversary Parade to scrumptious Food to Fireworks, this
free event has something for everyone! Sunday, May 22nd festivities kick off with a Veteran Memorial Service over at the Veterans Memorial at Borough Hall. At 11 a.m. we are back in Minch Park for a Community Worship Service, Chester County Concert Band Performance, Food Collection for the Parkesburg Food Cupboard, Picnic and Closing Ceremony with the opening of the Parkesburg Time Capsule. Free Designated Public Parking will be available with bus and van transport connecting our lots with the events. So here is your invitation to this specacular free community event! Mark your calendars now! See our full schedule at parkesburg.org! This is one extraordinary historic event you don’t want to miss! The Parkesburg 150th Anniversary Planning Committee
