Narberth Stories
Elm Station’s Lost City
The largest building ever constructed in Narberth occupied the south side from May to November 1876. Covering 5.1 acres, the Grangers’ Centennial Encampment could accommodate our entire present-day population. It was the scene of a murder that was reported internationally. Then seven days after the Centennial closed, a spectacular fire burned it to the ground.
