Butler County Historical Society
The Butler County Historical Society is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and interpreting the historical heritage of Butler County, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1927, it was incorporated as a private nonprofit entity in 1960 and officially designated as the county's historical organization in 1991. The society's mission is to collect, preserve, and interpret documents, artifacts, and historical sites for the educational benefit of the public[1][3].
Activities and Properties
The society operates three historic sites: the Cooper Cabin Pioneer Homestead, the Little Red School House, and the Senator Walter Lowrie House. Additionally, it manages an extensive repository of objects, images, and original documents related to the county's history[1][4]. The society organizes various events and activities, including family-friendly tours and historical reenactments, to engage the community with its rich historical background[1][4].
Events and Programs
Butler County Historical Society hosts several events throughout the year, such as DJ Bingo nights and historical reenactments like "Echoes From Our Past," where actors depict the lives of local historical figures[4]. The society also partners with other organizations for significant community events, including the reopening of historical sites like the Little Red School House[4]. One of its upcoming initiatives is "Experience Butler County History Day," aimed at promoting local historical sites and cultural activities[1].
Governance and Involvement
The organization is led by a board of directors and features various roles such as President, Vice-President, Treasurer, and Secretary. Members of the community are encouraged to get involved by attending events, becoming members, or participating in local historical preservation efforts[3][4].
