Perhaps no other state boasts a broader or deeper range of American history as does the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. From the early colonial experiment of founder William Penn, to the American Revolution, Civil War, Industrial Age and beyond, Pennsylvania's history is American History.
The Pennsylvania Heritage Society® is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization supporting the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC), the official state agency charged with preserving and interpreting the Commonwealth's heritage and culture.
