The Beaver Area Heritage Foundation oversees three major historical sites that are a “must see”, providing outstanding overview of the people, places and events that have shaped our community. These include the award-winning heritage museum, log house and restored site of Fort McIntosh, which are perfect for visits by individuals and groups, especially school field trips. Tours can be self-led, or directed by costumed docents.

For more information on arranging a tour, please call the Museum office at 724-775-7174 or email us at info@beaverheritage.org.
