Chester County Historical Society
Donated objects and acquisitions help tell the story of Chester County from the late 1600s to today. The society's architectural complex, known as the History Center, includes a former opera house where Buffalo Bill once performed. Galleries tell about the Delaware Valley's settlers and the decorative furniture they crafted; quilts, period clothing, and grandfather clocks are some key collections, as well as American cross-stitch samplers. A hands-on history lab lets kids churn butter and dress up in a hoop skirt.
