Veterans' Memorial Park--Future Landscape
The final plan for the Park has been completed by Larson Design Group. Click here to see the detailed site plan. NRPS and the Borough of Newport was awarded a Community Conservation Partnerships Program Grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. For more information, please contact Frank Campbell, fcampbell@camel-express.com.
The Veterans' Memorial Park Project is the second phase of Grandma's Plus Playground Project. Phase One of the project was completed by a dedicated team throughout 2010. Our efforts will continue. Read more about the efforts on the Projects page.
Our appreciation is extended to Orrstown Bank for their continued support of NRPS and Grandma's Plus Playground Project.
Our Mission
The goal of the Newport Revitalization and Preservation Society (NRPS) is to blend Newport's rich and full past with the present as we begin the 21st century. We engage in projects to better the community and to preserve the history of our town.
Newport is nestled between the Juniata River and gently rolling hills. Within this landscape commuters, farmers, artists, artisans, and business people live, work, and enjoy life. Local activities reflect this blend. Newport is home to the Little Buffalo Festival of the Arts, Perry County Council of the Arts, the Perry County Fair, Little Buffalo State Park, the Oliver Grange, and an active 4H Club.
Buy a Brick
We are currently accepting orders for personalized bricks that border the sidewalks throughout the square. Find more information and an order form on the Buy a Brick page.
