Historical Society

We are a totally volunteer, non profit organization. Our goal is to educate people about Forest County through events and artifacts. The museum is housed in a Pre Victorian House which originally belonged to the Robinsons. We like to tell their story as well as that of men and women who made and continue to make Forest County. We are only open Memorial Day through mid October.

The Cameron County Historical Society, founded in 1921 and incorporated in 1964, is dedicated to preserving and sharing the rich history and heritage of Cameron County, Pennsylvania. With a vibrant and enthusiastic membership, the Society operates two facilities: The Little Museum in Sterling Run, which showcases local industries and famous individuals, and the Historical Genealogy Research Center in Emporium, providing resources for researching family histories. Through their collection of over 15,000 items and ongoing additions, the Society offers visitors a unique glimpse into the county's past, including its salt mining, lumbering, and electronic industries. With a commitment to preserving artifacts, memories, and family histories, the Cameron County Historical Society invites new members and volunteers to join them in their mission of preserving the past for current and future generations.Generated from the website
