Welcome to Historic Yellow Springs
The mission of Historic Yellow Springs, Inc. is to share, preserve and celebrate the unique living village of Yellow Springs.

Historic Yellow Springs is home to Chester Springs Studio, a vibrant arts center that hosts classes, workshops and exhibitions in the visual arts.
COVID
We are all thrilled to be able to return to a greater sense of normalcy within the village. Now that many of the restrictions have been lifted and or lessened, we will be getting back to normal capacity for many of our events, classes and activities. There are still guidelines that have been issued from the CDC and precautions to be mindful of when you are attending functions with others. Many of our volunteers and guests are in the high-risk category and everyone’s safety is our utmost concern. Pennsylvania government has made the announcement that they will be following the guidance that FULLY vaccinated people will no longer need to wear a mask or physically distance, except where required by local businesses, federal, state laws, rules and regulations. HYS values our volunteers and guests, and we are still requiring face masks be worn by individuals within HYS buildings and at activities. Depending upon your event or activity, variations may exist and you should speak to the HYS team member lead for that event for any specific guidance.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support!
COVID Guidelines

We want to continue to keep everyone safe and healthy. We will be utlizing the CDC high transmittal guidance. This guidance called for a 5-day quarantine for anyone who was exposed to someone who has covid. After the 5-day quarantine, those participants can return to the activity as long as they have conducted and received a negative covid test. Any interaction with an exposed person will be communicated to those involved.
Everyone did a wonderful job following guidelines and keeping their fellow event participant safe through the height of the pandemic, before vaccines were available. We trust and appreciate all of our friends and HYS community and we know that we will all work together to keep everyone safe and healthy. Thank you for your understanding and support!
