Mission, goals and programs of the Jacobsburg
Historical Society
The mission of the Jacobsburg Historical Society
is to preserve the art and industry of making early American firearms,
and the character of the individuals and community that created
and sustained that enterprise.
The Society was founded in 1972 to preserve and
interpret the historical Henry family estate and early industrial
properties, the family's gun and iron making heritage and to help
establish the Jacobsburg National Historic District.
The goals of the Society are to tell the historically
significant story of the Henry family and the people, places, products
and processes associated with its water-powered industries to a
diverse audience using various interpretive mediums, such as museum
and wayside exhibits, educational programming, publications, lectures
and more.
The Society's program is currently presented
to the public via visitor center exhibits, a historic house museum,
living history encampments, school programs, a monthly community
lecture series, a youth history day camp, a number of publications
and early American gunsmithing courses. Later this year, the Boulton
Heritage Walk and the Museum of the Pennsylvania Longrifle at the
Henry Homestead will be completed projects that will add to the
rich diversity of the Society's interpretive and educational program.
