About

The Aaronsburg Civic Club (ACC) has been a vital part of life in Penns Valley since its founding in 1944.  As the second world war came to a close, town leaders in Aaronsburg founded an organization that would maintain and encourage a sense of togetherness and resourcefulness in and around their historic village in Penns Valley.  The group originally met at each other’s houses, and eventually found a home in the Aaronsburg School, which the ACC purchased from the township in 1956 and named the Aaronsburg Community Building.  Around the same time, the ACC became steward of Wert Memorial Park, Aaronsburg’s public green space, right in the middle of town.  These public spaces became, and today they remain, the center of the ACC’s activities.    

Aaronsburg and its neighboring Haines Township village of Woodward, along with the farmsteads in between, all share a unique history, and the ACC represents the best of our local spirit of coming together to work, learn, and play for the common good.
