August 1: Historic Nantmeal Village,
the “Sweet Water” Meeting on Coventry RoadSponsor: East Nantmeal Historical Commission and Society
Tour Information: The Village is located at the intersection of Coventryville and Fairview Roads in Glenmoore. Parking will be at Camphill Soltane, 224 Nantmeal Road. Turn off route 100 onto Nantmeal Road which runs between the Horse Show Grounds and Ludwigs Corner Firehouse. Go 1 mile to parking on right. There will be no parking in Nantmeal Village the day of the tour.
Stroll through Nantmeal Village, Welsh for “sweet water.” Our village began as a “quiet” Quaker settlement in the early 1700’s, convenient to nearby forges. When the meeting closed in strife, the village was reborn through the “wheelings and dealings” of John Murray and others. By the 1880’s, it had become quite the destination with a church, two schools, band hall, store, smithy, wheelwright, cabinetmaker and more! This now sleepy residential hamlet hides a colorful past illuminated for you on the Town Tours!
