Old Economy Village is a historic site of the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission. The site preserves and presents the life, thought, and material culture of the Harmony Society, a highly successful and entrepreneurial 19th century religious community.  Old Economy was the heart of the Harmony Society’s community of Economy from 1824 until the commune was dissolved in 1905.  It is part of Ambridge’s Economy National Historic Landmark, and is among the region’s most important historic sites.  Old Economy Village is administered by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission and is actively supported by the Friends of Old Economy Village which is a non-profit community-based organization.

Over the past several months, representatives from several Churches, the Borough of Ambridge,  and Ambridge Regional Chamber of Commerce have met to plan the  the Second Annual "Ambridge Fall Festival of the Churches."

The Festival is a two-day event, beginning Friday, September 29 with a Historic Church Bus Tour. Saturday, September 30, participants will march in a Parish Parade, followed by the Festival Celebration in PJ Caul Park, where many churches and organizations will sell their own homemade ethnic foods and treats. ​

Ambridge police stopped Benson in a car along Route 65 late Tuesday night because of a burned-out headlight. Officers showed only Channel 11 what they found inside: 10 bricks of heroin laced with fentanyl, which have a street value of $4,000.
"We like these kind of criminals, who basically throw up red flags so we pull them over and we end up getting quite a bit of heroin off the street," said Chief Jim Mann
