Visit a local museum and view Pennsylvania artifacts that are thousands of years old. The following is a list of museums in Pennsylvania which have archaeological collections from our state. They represent a wonderful opportunity to observe the material remains of Pennsylvania s historic and prehistoric past. We would suggest that these institutions be contacted for specific types of collections, hours and admission prices. Twenty-six historic sites and museums are administered by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission, the official history agency of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. We strongly urge you to also visit these to see even more of Pennsylvania s past. Visit our web site at www.phmc.state.pa.us for details on the Pennsylvania Trail of History.
