[3] Spannuth Mill was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.

Its villages include Bethel, Crosskill Mills (also in Tulpehocken Township,) Frystown, Grimes, Meckville, and Schubert.

Portions of the Pennsylvania State Game Lands Number 80 and Number 110, through which passes the Appalachian National Scenic Trail, are located along the northern border of the township.

17.6% of all households were made up of individuals, and 6.5% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.

Pennsylvania Route 183 also serves the township, briefly passing through the northeastern corner.
