WELCOME TO THE NEWTOWN SQUARE HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Welcome to the Newtown Square Historical Society. Founded in 1981 by civic minded residents, the society continues its mission to preserve the rich history of Newtown Township. We offer multiple programs to reach out to our community, volunteer opportunities for residents of all ages and events throughout the year at our many historic locations.  Please browse our website and vast pictorial history of our town and consider becoming a member. 

The Paper Mill House Museum and History Center will be closed for maintenance during January.  Guided tours will resume in February.

                Art Classes at the Paper Mill House Museum and History Center

"Whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist, everyone is welcome to join us at the Paper Mill Art Room on Saturday mornings from 10:00 a.m. to Noon. This class focuses on acrylic painting, a versatile water-based medium that becomes waterproof once dry.

For beginners, you'll be guided through a step-by-step process to complete a specific project each week. You'll build your skills progressively, learning key techniques along the way, such as color mixing, form, value, line, and perspective.

For experienced artists, you're free to choose your own project or work on the week's featured painting. This is a space to explore your creativity at your own pace, with plenty of support available if needed.

Above all, our goal is to make art-making enjoyable! Whether you're refining your skills or just starting out, you'll learn in a relaxed and inspiring environment."
