About this file
This file is a map of Norristown Farm Park, a 725-acre facility owned by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and operated by Montgomery County across three municipalities: East Norriton Township, West Norriton Township, and Norristown Borough. The map illustrates the park's layout, identifying key features including paved trails totaling approximately 7.25 miles, natural features such as Stony Creek and riparian corridors, recreational amenities including picnic areas, fishing spots, sledding areas, and sports facilities, historic structures including the Shannon Mansion, Castner House, and various barns, and administrative buildings. The map designates parking areas, restroom facilities, water fountains, and educational features such as the SCA Trout Nursery and Monarch Waystation. Infrastructure elements shown include bridges, railroad trestle crossings, and utility features such as the municipal compost area and incinerator.
The related contract opportunity indicates that Montgomery County is pursuing a provider for farming operations at Norristown Farm Park to continue the property's agricultural use while expanding educational and historic agricultural opportunities. The park maintains a documented record of continuous agricultural use since 1764 and serves as a passive recreation facility with day-use amenities. The procurement seeks to balance modern agricultural operations with the park's mission to preserve scenic vistas, provide public access through trails and facilities, and enhance interpretive and educational programming related to the site's agricultural heritage and historic structures.
