About Sigal Museum and Northampton County Historical and Genealogical Society

Sigal Museum and Northampton County Historical and Genealogical Society houses interactive exhibitions exploring hundreds of years of local history, including pre-European settlement artifacts, decorative arts, textiles, farming implements, and colonial furniture in its over 30,000 square feet of space in Easton. Visitors choose between self-guided and docent-led tours, walking tours of historic Easton led by friendly guides, and changing exhibitions such as Aquí Vivimos, which centers the voices of Hispanic and Latino residents, and Remembering 1776, which traces how Northampton County has commemorated the American Revolution across three major anniversaries. The museum offers special children's programs and field trips for students, while the Jane S. Moyer Library and Archives provides access to genealogical and historical research with volunteer assistance. Related sites include the 1753 Bachmann Publick House, containing the last remaining colonial-era courtroom, and the Victorian Mixsell Illick House available by appointment. Admission is free on Sundays except during festivals and special events, according to sigalmuseum.org.
