Get in on one of Chester County’s best-kept secrets!

Within our walls you can gaze at the beautiful artifacts of 300 years of Chester County history. Visit our library and photo archives where our expert staff will help you research your family tree. Attend one of our many performances and concerts, area tours and lectures; or bring your children or grandchildren to explore our interactive History Lab. They’ll have so much fun trying on costumes and playing games, they won’t realize how much they’re learning!

Membership is the best way to do it all. For little more than the cost of taking your family to the movies, you can have a full year of great events and so much more. Plus, the museum makes a great rainy day alternative to TV!
