About Us

The mission of the Venango County Historical Society is to collect county history and make it accessible to the public. Collecting history is accomplished by acquiring artifacts relating to the county, and then accessing and recording them and placing them in appropriate storage. Making history available is presented in various ways. A Genealogical Library and an Archival Research Center are available for family and community research. Among the many documents available for research and group documents, photographs, as well as, the original pages of wills, naturalizations and estate papers from 1800-1900 (which are on permanent loan from the County Courthouse).
