This summer, embark on an exciting, hands-on journey through history at our museum’s Crafting the Past Summer Camp! Designed for young learners 9 - 12, this immersive program offers the chance to explore traditional crafts, learn valuable skills, and discover the fascinating world of historic trades.

Throughout the camp, participants will dive into a wide variety of activities, all while learning about the tools, techniques, and hard work that shaped our world. Campers will not only enjoy learning about the history of these crafts, but they will also gain practical experience and develop skills that will serve them for years to come.

While Rapp's garden has seen many transformations since its 1826 creation, it continues to draw the attention of both historians and horticulturalists and often serves as a breathtaking venue for weddings. Today it is cared for just as it was before, by the helping hands of a community and a young woman in the greenhouse with a peculiar love of plants. 2024 marked the beginning of restoration plans but, in any stage, it always remains a hidden paradise tucked away in the corner of Ambridge, PA.

Old Economy Village is the home of a great deal of information about the Harmony Society and life in general in the nineteenth century. The collection contains six manuscript groups, an historic library, and collections of music, maps, drawings, and wallpaper. Major topics covered by the archives and library include but are not limited to music, architecture, religion, business, and photographs.
