In the Winter of 1899, there were no snowplows. There were no snow blowers, but then again, there were no cars, either. This picture depicts local Harleysville residents the "Klondike" crew, shoveling Maple Avenue near where the Nationwide Insurance building stands. For perspective, Main Street is in the distance behind them.
Thankfully, times have changed, and there are so many resources to help when Mother Nature brings winter storms. Please click on the various links below to prepare you and your family for the upcoming season.
And, as always, the Township Public Works Department works hard to maintain the nearly 100 miles of roadways. Please be patient as they clear the main roads first, feeder roads second and cul-de-sacs last. We are all in this together. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
