Turkeyfoot Valley Historical Society Purchases
Building
The Turkeyfoot Valley
Historical Society was founded in 2002 and officially became a 501(c)(3)
organization in 2003. Since then the society has been collecting
historical artifacts, pictures, and manuscripts in order to preserve the
areas rich history. The society purchased the building at
600 Logan Place in Confluence, PA.
The society plans to
use the building for a museum to display the historical collections of
the society and hopes to house the local Turkeyfoot Lending Library and
Confluence Tourism. Joining the forces of these organizations will
consolidate strengths, draw more people, and increase the usefulness of
the building.
Funding for the
restoration project is being provided by Homer J. Harned, a native of
Ursina, PA who currently lives in Washington State. Mr. Harned is
giving back to the communities of his youth. He feels privileged to
have been afforded the opportunity to assist the organization and the
area. |
