PA: ChesMont Historical Trek

The SCCA Philadelphia Region presents the ChesMont Historical Trek on Saturday, June 17th.

The ChesMont Historical Trek is a tour of several Chester and Montgomery Counties sites. This is a NON-COMPETITIVE EVENT. That is, there are no trophies to be won and no pressure, just a leisurely drive through the countryside. You can spend as much or as little time as you want at any stop. Or come back another day with your instructions when you have more time. The nearby Valley Forge National Historical Park is the first site we’ll visit.  Several, but not all, other sites, such as the Paoli Battlefield in Malvern, will have a Revolutionary War connection. 

Our route will cover 60-70 miles (depending on which optional sites you visit). The route is paved, so there are no worries about dirt/rocks.

Start: We’ll gather at Panera Bread in the Gateway Shopping Center at 10:00 AM and handle Registration outside. Your registration packet will include the route instructions and publicity material for other upcoming events in the area. All participants must sign a liability release, and non-members must fill out the Weekend and Trial Membership forms and Minor Waivers for anyone under 18 (please call Clyde Heckler before the event for Minor requirements). You may have as many people in the car as there are seatbelts in the car.

You may depart whenever you are ready, but we encourage you to grab a bite to eat/drink at Panera and review your route instructions.  

Finish: The Schwenksville, PA area, where several restaurants are available for lunch and are listed in the route instructions.  

Questions about the event can be sent to the Rallymaster Clyde Heckler (or call him 609-923-6306).
