Who We Are

We Are a historical community

In order to serve the varied historical and genealogical interests of our members and the community, the Society operates with three branches: the Museum Branch, the Library Branch, and the Committees Branch.

We are a non-profit, 501c3 tax-exempt charity located in Armstrong County.

The Armstrong County Historical Museum tells the story of people, places, and historical events starting with the destruction of the Delaware Indian Village of the Kit-Han-Ne in 1756 by Colonel John Armstrong and his frontier troops. The Museum is open to the public for tours on Sunday and Thursday, 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., April to November. After November 1st by appointment only.

The Mildred Lankerd-Thomas Genealogical Library was founded in 1973 and has an outstanding collection of family, county, community, and church histories; plus, many other records for those doing genealogical research. The library is open to the public from by appointment only at this time.
