Beaver Area Heritage Museum

Founded in 1967 in Beaver, PA, 30 miles northwest of Pittsburgh, the Beaver Area Heritage Foundation achieved local, statewide and national recognition for its dedication to the preservation and documentation of Beaver’s rich history.
Since its humble beginnings, the Heritage Foundation has grown to an organization of more than 400 members, and has become an important force in the community.

Throughout its long history, the Beaver Area Heritage Foundation has been an active publisher of award-winning books, pamphlets and newsletters available for purchase as gifts or for your home library.
Chief among these is the Foundations newsletter, which is printed several times a year to give updates on the myriad activities of the Heritage Foundation and Museum. 

Among the other leading publications are the award-winning Beaver Town coffee table book, recipient of the Pennsylvania Federation of Museums’ Certificate of Achievement honor. The story of Beaver is exquisitely told in more than 200 pages in easy reading prose, filled with fascinating information about the history of the town. More than 125 beautiful illustrations include photographs, paintings, maps, drawings and documents, many in full color, all in a beautiful hard cover binding. 

There is a cozy museum shop in the terrotory, thus visitors will enjoy not only the creative atmosphere, but can take little suvenirs to remind them about their visit.
