The Friends of Old Pine, the predecessor to Old Pine Conservancy was founded to preserve and protect the 1768 building and the remains of almost 4,000 people buried in the graveyard.
In 1951, the Friends of Old Pine began raising funds. By 1955, the group’s efforts helped stabilize the church building and improve it.
In addition, during the rebirth of Society Hill in the 1950s-1980s, the Friends of Old Pine used merged and donated funds to acquire land near 5th and Lombard Streets from the city redevelopment authority.
The result was the renovation of Old Pine Church, building the Old Pine Community Center and donation of land for a new building housing the impressive Presbyterian Historical Society.
In 2011, the Friends of Old Pine changed its name to the Old Pine Conservancy.
