Harleysville, PA

Harleysville is a Montgomery County community in the Philadelphia region, with roots on Lenape land and later Pennsylvania German and Mennonite settlement. The Mennonite Heritage Center helps preserve that history and hosts the Apple Butter Frolic, an autumn festival held since 1974. Today Harleysville is suburban but still carries a semi-rural and church-community feel in places, with farms, developments, schools, and commuter roads mixed together. It feels like a North Penn-area community where old agricultural traditions and modern subdivision life sit side by side.
