The Little Museum was once Lumber Township's country school. In 1930 the Lumber Township School Board, ever watchful of its taxpayers' funds, bought this prefabricated two-room school building from the Ambler Asbestos Buildings Company at a cost of $3,600. It served as the Sterling Run School House until 1962 when the county schools were consolidated and all students were bused to Emporium. The School may be one of the last standing Sear Simplex Sectional Two-Room School Houses. In March of 1969, the Lumber Township Supervisors offered the use of the school building and grounds to the Cameron County Historical Society as a site for their museum. After two years of cleaning and repairing the building and restoring artifacts, and in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Cameron County Historical Society, the Little Museum was opened to the public on September16, 1971. In 1976 a third room was added to house the collection of General Joseph McNarney's military and personal effects. The Museum is staffed by volunteers through out the season. Regular hours are Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday from 1-4
PM. If these hours do not work for you, appointments can be
arranged. Email us at info@thelittlemuseum.org Please take a moment to visit the links below to see what we have to offer. |
