National Historic Landmark - Germantown (Manheim) Cricket Club

Founded in 1855, this is the second oldest cricket club in the United States. Its part in the sport of cricket was of international rank in the 19th century.

Early in the 20th century, tennis gained prominence over cricket at the club. The most noted member was William T. (Big Bill) Tilden (1893-1953), an international tennis star of the 1920s.
