About
Preserving the history of Mercer County since 1947, the Mercer County Historical Society operates a museum and the county's largest genealogical reference library from its home at 119 South Pitt Street in Mercer. Rotating exhibits highlight local heritage, military history, and the people and industries that shaped the region.
Beyond the museum, the Society maintains several historic sites throughout the county: the Tommy-McClain Print Shop, the Berringer-Caldwell One Room Schoolhouse and Museum, the Rural Life Museum at Munnell Run Farm, the Raisch Log Cabin in Sharpsville, and the Indian Grave site at Custaloga Town.
The Helen Black Miller Chapel, located on site, is available for event rental. A new chairlift now provides accessible entry to the second-floor gallery. The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday, 11am to 4pm, and closed Sundays, Mondays, and most major holidays.
