The Whitehall Historical Preservation Society, located at 506 Mickley Road in Whitehall, Pennsylvania, is dedicated to preserving the rich history of the area. The society's main focus is on the Helfrich Springs Grist Mill, built in 1807 and listed on the National Register of Historical Sites in 1977. The society began preservation efforts in 1984, with the goal of turning the mill into a museum showcasing Whitehall Township's history. Thanks to financial grants and public contributions, the society has successfully restored the mill, which is now open to the public for monthly meetings, special events, and tours by appointment. The society has also started restoration work on the Peter Grim Homestead, built in 1834 and listed on the National Register of Historical Sites in 1999. This building will serve as the society's office headquarters and genealogical research library, reflecting the 1840s era.
