Documents
Step into the rich history of Richland Township in Pennsylvania — documents are constantly being added to this page. These documents were preserved by the Richland Historical Society with information containing the history of Bucks County, how Richland Township was formed, events that have occurred right here in Bucks County throughout the years, and all the various one-room schoolhouses that were built in this area.
Our goal is to “foster and perpetuate interest in the historical background of the one-room school system and to hold as a shrine the Shelly one-room school in Richland Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania.”
