Founded in 1974 to “foster the preservation and conservation of historic sites, buildings, and their surroundings”, within an area of twenty (20) miles distant from the Uwchlan Meeting House, located in Lionville, Chester County, PA., the Uwchlan Conservation Trust’s mission is to facilitate historic preservation of the Uwchlan Meeting House.

The Trust also worked with the Uwchlan Township Historical Commission to stabilize the ruins of Dowlin Forge, which refined pig iron, and to create a park along the Struble Trail.

The Trust is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, supported by its members, members of the community and the Uwchlan Garden Club members, who manage the building.
