Because History Matters...

We are building awareness, understanding, and appreciation for our rich history throughout the Commonwealth.

Our Mission

The Pennsylvania Heritage Foundation is to generate investments of public and private funds that enhance and support the goals of the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission that inspire others to use Pennsylvania's history in meaningful ways.

We Love PA History! Podcast

We Love PA History! is an every-other week conversation featuring authors, historians, preservationists and storytellers. Each episode will dive into events, people, and places that define Pennsylvania's heritage, showing how the past still shapes our present. Pennsylvanian's love their history, and we want to celebrate that.
