Awards Dinner
At the Marple Historical Society’s awards dinner we present an award to an individual or group who has made a significant contribution to the preservation of the heritage of Marple Township. We also award, at this time, the Susan Lucas Scholarship to a senior from Marple Newtown High School who is going to further their education in a historically related field.
