Welcome to the Elk County Historical Society.
The
Elk County Historical Society was founded May 21, 1964 and incorporated
in 1974. We are located in Ridgway, the county seat of Elk County, in
Northwestern Pennsylvania.
Our organization consists of the
Center House, a Victorian Era house containing Victorian style
furnishings throughout and a typical Doctor’s Office; the Robinson
Museum, housing our current exhibits, a book store, and the Genealogy
Research Room; and Decker’s Chapel, once billed as the "Smallest Church
in the U.S.A.
The Society is a 501(c)3 Nonprofit Membership
organization funded through Memberships, Donations, and Grants; and is
governed by a 15-member Board of Directors.
The Elk County
Historical Society is funded in part by grants from the Pennsylvania
Historical & Museum Commission and the County of Elk.
Our
Mission is "The discovery, collection and preservation of materials
pertaining to the history of Elk County and to encourage the study and
appreciation of this history."
