The History Center on Main Street

The History Center on Main Street in Mansfield, Pa in Mansfield, Pa. has been established to collect, present, preserve and interpret the local history of Mansfield, Pa. and the surrounding area. Among its collections are files, artifacts, and photographs of families, businesses, educational institutions, organizations and all other elements of the community from its beginning to its present. We also have a library of history and genealogy books including many by local authors and nearly full sets of local high school and college yearbooks.The core of the present collections is from a private unincorporated museum established by Joyce M. Tice in 2003.

Relocating to Mansfield from rural Sullivan Township enables us to build on the collections and make them more accessible to the community.

During the past decade, the collections have grown with additional acquisitions and donations of local items from the community.

In addition to the history library, visitors can view displays, and video presentations, and gain an understanding of the people and places in our community. In 2023, we started making large parts of our catalogs available in our online collections utility.

This is in addition to our long-standing and extensive web presence. Our collection of early area postcards and photos is in excess of 10,000.

We are so excited to be part of this great event and we look forward to your support as we all Raise the Region!
