One of the first tasks the Crafton Historical Society undertook was publishing the community’s history for the 1992 centennial. The resulting book, The Story of Crafton by Betsy Martin, chronicles significant developments in the borough's history, famous people associated with the borough, and the history of organizations, churches, businesses and schools. It also highlights the changes in the borough's stability as it grew older and the current swing toward preservation. The Story of Crafton received an Award of Merit from the Pennsylvania Federation of Museums and Historical Organizations, and a Certificate of Commendation from the American Association for State and Local History, whose awards program is the nation's most prestigious competition for recognizing achievement in the preservation and interpretation of local, state and regional history. Now in its second printing, The Story of Crafton is available for purchase. Check the CHS Store for details. |
