Avery's Eagle Scout Project for the Paper Mill House.

Hello! My name is Avery Tyrrell and I am a member of Scouts BSA Troop 284G out of Radnor, PA, and a member of Scouting’s National Honor Society, Unami Lodge, One. Recently, I began the process of completing my Eagle Scout Project, and I am now accepting donations to be able to gather the materials needed to complete my project.

My project will be benefiting the Newtown Square Historical Society at The Paper Mill House. The Newtown Square Historical Society being my beneficiary means a lot to me due to generations of my family’s history of involvement and support of them. My Grandparents were founding members of the Newtown Square Tricentennial Commission and the Newtown Square Historical Society. My Grandmother, Pat Tyrrell put the Paper Mill House on the map, or should I say the map of National Register of Historic Places.

For my project, we will be reestablishing a trail to the site of the ruins of the paper mill, along with reestablishing the trail that runs along the creek. Additionally, we will be adding a park bench at the site of the ruins, and a few park benches along the trail by the creek. Finally, we will be adding informational signs about the history of the paper mill, and informational signs about the wildlife local to Southeastern Pennsylvania.

To make this happen, I am raising money through GoFundMe, my goal is $900. Any donation, big or small, would make a huge difference in helping me complete this project in addition to giving back to our community. Any additional money raised will be used for additional signage or donated to the Paper Mill Museum. Please reach out with any questions, and thank you for your support!
