About Red Lion Area Historical Society

The Red Lion Area Historical Society operates a museum housing artifacts, photographs, documents, and genealogical records related to local history. Visitors explore collections that preserve the region's past, including materials from citizens, businesses, schools, and churches throughout the Red Lion area. The museum features model railroad displays, created in collaboration with the Red Lion Train Railroaders, which operate during special events and holiday seasons. The society hosts public meetings and presentations on local history topics; past programs have covered subjects such as canals and crime and punishment in Red Lion during the turn of the last century, presented by community members and historians. The museum also displays rotating art exhibitions. Located in Red Lion, Pennsylvania, the historical society serves as a resource center for research and education about the area's heritage, welcoming visitors and genealogy researchers interested in understanding local history through preserved documents, family histories, diaries, deeds, and maps.
