About
Founded in 1987, we have a burning passion for local history in the Halifax, Pennsylvania and surrounding areas. It is in these hills and valleys of south-central PA that friendships were formed, marriages and burials took place, battles were fought, families grew and legacies were created. Without our history, we wouldn't be where we are today.
​
By remembering and preserving the past, we aim to build a better future, working together with the family friends and community around us, forming new memories and history along the way.
"A morsel of genuine history is a thing so rare as to be always valuable."
- Thomas Jefferson

Our Vision
In doing all of this, we aspire to foster a brighter future by remembering and restoring the past, cultivating a love of history in the generations to come.
