Because at the Washington County Historical Society, History Matters.
We show it every day as we strive to preserve this region’s history. Whether it’s through the collection of documents and artifacts that reveal the stories of our past, the construction of a new Research & Education Center, or the large-scale restoration project at the LeMoyne House – Western Pennsylvania’s only National Historic Landmark of the Underground Railroad, we're doing meaningful work today that will benefit future generations.
We exist as a center for preservation, research and education that inspires the discovery and sharing of our County’s remarkable history.
We Exist Because History Matters!
What can you do?
We ask that you please consider giving to WCHS's Annual Fund drive. Whether it's $25 or $5000, every donation helps! A collective effort will be needed to reach our goal, so we also ask that you share this email with your family, friends, and social networks. We can accomplish our goal if everyone joins in!
