History Spotlight:
50th Marshalton Triathlon
On October 6th, the Village of Marshallton welcomed more than 1,000 triathletes and spectators to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Marshalton Triathlon—one of the longest-running triathlons in the country. It was a beautiful day of sunshine, friendly competition, and a strong sense of community as participants pedaled, paddled, and paced along a scenic 10-mile route in Chester County. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our sponsors, volunteers, participants, and the amazing Marshallton community for keeping this cherished tradition alive for 50 years and counting.

Conservation Update:
Embreeville Property
Congratulations to the West Bradford Township Board of Supervisors and Township Manager for being recognized for their efforts in Open Space Preservation, particularly for their work to preserve the former Embreeville State Hospital Complex.
After years of litigation, negotiation, remediation, demolition, and cleanup, the Township announced on July 12, 2024, that it had successfully closed on the Embreeville real estate transaction. “The complexity of this project and the investment of time cannot be understated. This marks a monumental moment, not only in the history of Embreeville, but also in the history of West Bradford Township,” stated Jack M. Hines, Jr., Chairman of the Board of Supervisors.
As always, we will keep our Marshallton community updated on progress with the Embreeville Property through our communication channels, including our monthly digital newsletter, Facebook, and website. Stay tuned!
