The Tioga County Historical Society has received an $8,000 grant from the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC). This funding is intended to assist with general operating expenses, as announced by Representative Clint Owlett.
"Our historical society provides a valuable window into our past through multiple facilities it operates across the county," said Owlett. "I am happy to see the Commonwealth supporting this important service to the community."
The 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 are open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m., excluding federal holidays. Additionally, they operate the Tioga County Farm, Mine and Lumber Museum in Whitneyville and the Osceola Blockhouse, an 1835 log house in Osceola Township.
The grant comes from PHMC's Cultural and Historical Support Grant Program, which offers operational support to museums and official county historical societies not funded by other state agency programs.
