The Tioga County Historical Society has received an $8,000 grant from the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC) to assist with general operating expenses, according to Rep. Clint Owlett (R-Tioga/Bradford).
“Our historical society provides a valuable window into our past through multiple facilities it operates across the county,” Owlett stated. “I am happy to see the Commonwealth supporting this important service to the community.”
The Tioga County Historical Society manages several facilities, including the Robinson House Museum and the Ladd Genealogical and Historical Research Library located at 120 Main St. in Wellsboro. These facilities are open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m., excluding federal holidays. Additionally, the society operates the Tioga County Farm, Mine and Lumber Museum in Whitneyville and the Osceola Blockhouse, an 1835 log house situated in Osceola Township.
The grant comes from PHMC’s Cultural and Historical Support Grant Program, which offers general operating support to museums and official county historical societies that do not receive direct funding from other state agency programs.
