Historical

How can you push forward if you don’t know where you came from? Crawford County holds layers of complex history that are ripe for the telling, featuring amazing stories from past residents and historical events. The area is rich with cultural significance from the Drake Well to the railroad industry, and even the home of a late Supreme Court Justice. The Crawford County Historical Society works hard to preserve the integrity of information, real estate and artifacts that are vital to every chapter in the county’s story. Experience some of this history at the Baldwin-Reynolds House Museum, the David Mead Log Cabin Replica, the Drake Well Museum, John Brown Tannery, the French Creek Archaeological Society and so many more.

Experience some of the area’s cultural specialties at Northwestern Pennsylvania’s only maple Museum, just a short drive away in Edinboro. Here you can learn the art and science behind making maple syrup… and you can taste it. Or if you’re feeling like seeking out some supernatural adventure, stop by paranormal hotspot The Knickerbocker. Crawford County is full of amazing history and it’s waiting for you to make your own here!
