The Huntingdon County Historical Society would like to send a big thank you (again) out to everyone who made our year of focusing on the importance of Huntingdon County History, and of course our recently held 4th Annual Evening of Huntingdon History, a huge success. Without the help from YOU, our community, our friends and family, we would never have achieved this!!With 2026 coming up, we have decided that we are going to help everyone play a part in the America 250 Celebration. Stay tuned for what we have up our sleeve next! Is there anything specific YOU would like to see as an activity or event we could do? Let us know in the comments!! ... See MoreSee Less
