Our collection of artifacts is small, but is growing through the contributions of members and friends. We have some everyday household items and tools used in the 1920-1960 period. There are a few military items, campaign buttons and advertising. Obituaries, Newspapers, photos, artifacts make up our collections.

The Mifflin Township Historical Society has been working on establishing a computer database of photographs of the local communities. Some images date to the 1890s. We have also started a collection of books on the history of Pennsylvania and Western Pennsylvania in particular. Through contributions of members and friends, we are archiving yearbooks for the local schools.

The Mifflin Township Historical Society has presented local history programs to various groups via PowerPoint presentations, lectures and discussions. Lectures include the early history of the counties in Western Pennsylvania, the founding of Mifflin Township in 1788 and the formation of the 14 present day communities through the mid 1940s. We can provide a genealogy for some of the early settlers to this area. Our outreach programs can be coordinated through the President of MTHSociety. We accept an honorarium and reimbursement for travel expenses.
