The Towanda Area Historical Museum is a place for community to gather, to learn from and preserve the rich history, artifacts and stories of our past.  After a three year renovation project, we opened our doors in October 2020 with a brand new look! We offer free admission, although we are run on volunteer hours and donations. We invite you to come experience our history!
