Organized in 1994 with 11 members, the Smock Historical Society preserves the heritage of the coal mining community, Smock, and the neighborhood.
Thanks to the support and cooperation of the Smock Community Center, the Smock Historical Society established the Smock Heritage Museum in the center. The museum is located on the second floor of the Community Center which was formerly the H. C. Frick Company Store. Visitors climb the exterior steps and enter an area that takes them back in time.
There are two murals to view, maps, aerial views of the town, artifacts, antiques, photographs, books, three rooms that replicate rooms in a "Patch House," a local "Cicconi" tavern display, a wedding gown display, and much more. There is also a craft shop if you are interested in handmade crafts.
