Beaver Area Heritage Museum

The museum features important exhibits on the people, objects and events that have shaped our community’s history, and continues to grow and expand in its vision and scope. Created by the renovation of a 90-year-old freight station formerly owned by the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad, it opened in 1998 and received “Best Local History Museum” Award from the American Association of State and Local History. The museum houses an extensive collection of thousands of rare artifacts unique to the Beaver Area. The facility served as the site of a “whistle-stop” campaign visit by President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney in 2000.
