The Society receives no public funding and is totally dependent on memberships in order to acquire and properly house the records of the families and history of the Tulpehocken area. We invite you to participate with us in preserving the heritage of the Tulpehocken Settlement by becoming an active volunteer in the organization. To become a member, CLICK here.
Dates of meetings, exhibits, demonstrations, talks and annual dinner are announced in the Tattler. These are a chance to meet and talk with other members who are interested in the history of the Tulpehocken Settlements.
