The Pennsylvania Heritage Foundation is the non-profit partner of the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission. Governed by a volunteer board, PHF helps preserve the Commonwealth’s rich heritage through charitable funding, membership, grant management, and community engagement.
Sam Sweet has recently been appointed Executive Director of The Pennsylvania Heritage Foundation, the statewide, independent, non-profit partner of the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC) that supports the preservation and presentation of the rich heritage of the Commonwealth's historic sites and museums. Sam brings over 20 years of experience in the non-profit sector, leading cultural and educational institutions to the next level and promoting growth, innovation and greater community impact. He began on September 5. He looks forward to engaging Pennsylvanians who are passionate about history and who want to support and sustain our state’s historic stories and treasures.
The Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission (PHMC) is pleased to announce the launch of PA History 2 Go, an engaging and educational series of videos designed to attract virtual visitors to the Pennsylvania Trails of History and deepen their understanding of Pennsylvania's rich history.
Each video explores a particular site or facet of Pennsylvania history, including architectural wonders, historical narratives, and artistic treasures that have shaped Pennsylvania's unique identity.
