With one of America’s largest urban historic districts and ample green space, the Chestnut Hill area is defined by – and loved for – architecture, history, and nature
The Chestnut Hill Conservancy is dedicated to preserving the historical, architectural, and cultural resources and the open spaces that define the character of Chestnut Hill and surrounding communities in the Wissahickon watershed.
