Saturday morning shoppers checkout bargains at the Chadds Ford Historical Society’s yard sale last Saturday.

The Chadds Ford Historical Society raised another $2,300 at the yard sale held last Saturday, June 5. According to event co-chair Jenn Manderscheid, the donations were four times more than donated in previous years. She said the yard sale would be held every June to kick off having the society’s historic homes open to visitors in the summer. She added that everyone enjoyed being outside with no masks on.
