ROSE VALLEY: PAST AND PRESENT

Registration opens Thursday, January 29, 2026.

From Lenape roots to industrial mills to an Arts & Crafts utopia to a preservation-focused modern community, the valley has been shaped by a deep respect for land, craft, collaboration, and community. Today, the borough remains a living testament to William Lightfoot Price’s belief that beauty, craftsmanship, and community belong at the center of daily life.
