Welcome to the Historic Catasauqua Preservation Association webpage! HCPA traces its beginnings to 1983 when a small group of residents banded together to prepare applications for the establishment of two national historic districts in the Borough of Catasauqua (Lehigh County, Pennsylvania); the Biery's Port historic district and the Mansion district. In 1988 HCPA was selected by the U. S. Department of the Interior to receive a grant for development of the North Catasauqua, Catasauqua section of the Delaware and Lehigh Canal National Heritage Corridor. Since then, HCPA has increased to over 300 members comprised of residents and businesses from Catasauqua, North Catasauqua, neighboring towns and a few states across the nation. HCPA remains active as an organizer and volunteer in the community. In addition, our members enact their passion for historic preservation through events that highlight Catasauqua's rich history. These include an ongoing speaker series, home and garden tours, restoration efforts, and many more. You can keep track of all upcoming events right here at the HCPA webpage! 2010 celebration to be held Sunday, October 3, 2010 from 12 to 5 p.m., RAIN OR SHINE!
