'Then And Now' Highlights Yardley Evolution

YARDLEY, PA —There's no need to imagine what Yardley was like in the past.

The Yardley Historical Association will set the scene Thursday with its “Yardley Neighborhoods —Then and Now” presentation, an illustrated program about the town’s evolution.

The program takes place at t 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Old Library by Lake Afton, 46 West Afton Ave.

The presentation features photographs taken in the early, mid, and late 1900s. They are matched with images taken early in 2023 from approximately the same vantage points.

"It is eye-opening to realize how much some places have changed and how others have changed so little," Association President Susan Taylor said.

“Yardley Neighborhoods —Then and Now” is free and the public is welcome.

For more information about this program or other activities of the Yardley Historical Association, call 215-208-1154, e-mail info@yardleyhistory.org , or visit www.yardleyhistory.org.

The Yardley Historical Association preserves, maintains, and shares the Old Library by Lake Afton and its collections of books, documents, and ephemera related to Yardley’s history. The community is welcome to come to explore, discover, and have fun.
