Malvern Historical Commission Accepting Credit Cards

MALVERN, PA -- Conforming to the changing method of sales, the Malvern Historical Commission is now accepting payments by credit card. Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, as well as debit cards with any of those same logos, may be presented to purchase items both online and at the Malvern Festivals.

The first public event affected will be Malvern Blooms on Sunday, May 1st, from 11am - 4pm in the streets of Malvern Borough. The Historical Commission expects to have a space as in years past near the intersection of Warren Avenue and King Street. Available for purchase will be all of the Historical Commission’s products.

The purpose of the Malvern Historical Commission was designated to be to “locate, name and preserve for posterity significant architectural, natural and other historic sites within the boundaries of the Borough of Malvern.” Since 1983, appointed members have sought to fulfill this mandate as well as to educate residents of the Borough and surrounding areas about the town’s history and current relevance.

Books printed by the Historical Commission are A Century in Malvern: 1889 - 1989, Malvern Items: 1870-2006, and Malvern Treasures: In the Company of Malvern Borough Women 1835-2011, all authored by late historian Nancy B. Schmitt. Also on hand will be the 125th Anniversary streetlight banners, reproductions of an 1881 train map including Malvern, and the 1989 centennial poster.

Smaller items include the anniversary coins from 1964, 1989, and 2014, as well as ten different older postcard scenes from around town. Coloring books with Malvern buildings and scenes are great for all ages. All items range from 25 cents to $75. As always, the 3 books may be purchased as a set for $75; a $25 savings.

Purchasers should note that there will be a nominal service charge per purchase for the ability to use a credit card. This is not set by the Borough, but rather by which credit card used and the purchase amount. To avoid this service charge, cash or checks may be used for payment.
