The mission of the Rose Valley Centennial Foundation is to assist in perpetuating the “magic” of Rose Valley now and into the next century by creating and supporting initiatives that:
- Beautify and preserve our natural environment
- Keep our history alive
- Build on our unique sense of community
- Promote resident participation and volunteerism
The RVCF fulfills our purpose by encouraging and creating projects within the boundaries of the Rose Valley Borough that align with our mission. The leadership solicits ideas from residents and then considers funding approved projects through charitable donations to RVCF from individuals, foundations, and corporations.

Keep Our History Alive
The chimney is all that remains of the “Seekers After Knowledge” cabin in the Long Point Nature Preserve. Once accessible by a swinging footbridge across Ridley Creek, the cabin was the meeting place for this outing club in the 1880’s. Will Price was a member of the Seekers After Knowledge years before returning to Rose Valley to create his Arts and Crafts community. Photo by Anne Marie Palita Smith
