Merion Friends Meeting House
A 1695 meetinghouse founded by Welsh Quakers who arrived in 1682, now a National Historic Landmark and the second-oldest Friends meetinghouse in the country. It is still an active congregation, with silent worship every Sunday at 11 am and a burial ground holding an estimated 2,000 graves, many unmarked in early Quaker custom.

Two white suspension footbridges the WPA strung across Lake Lenape in 1938, modeled on the same Roebling design behind the Brooklyn Bridge. Roughly 500 feet of towers and cable over the creek, and still the only suspension bridges anywhere in Pennridge.
Mood's Covered Bridge
An 1874 covered bridge over the Perkiomen's northeast branch, burned by arson in 2004 and rebuilt in period lattice-truss style, reopening in February 2008. One salvaged piece of the original truss is built into the new frame, and it still carries about 2,000 cars a day just outside town.
