July 2026 Events

As part of the celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, the Forest County Historical Society is partnering with The Tionesta Library, The Market Village, and the Forest Area School District to honor our local history and community. Following the Forest Area School District’s successful Pioneer Days in May, we’re excited to announce that, thanks to the generosity of an anonymous Tionesta retiree and the support of local businesses including Long Acre Potato Farm, Tionesta Builder’s Supply, Shawn’s Repair and Service, LLC, and Liberty Rise Bakery, admission to the Forest County Historical Museum will be free for the entire month of July!

Throughout July, we invite you to enjoy our weekly Tuesday Talks, featuring engaging presentations that highlight the stories, people, and events that make Forest County unique. Visitors can also explore our special exhibit, “Quilts Across the Generations: Forest County’s Story in Stitches, 1900 to Today,” showcasing beautiful locally made quilts spanning more than a century and celebrating the artistry, heritage, and creativity passed down through generations.

Be sure to join us for Pioneer Day on July 18! Start your day at The Tionesta Library to pick up your map and participate in activities, then visit the Museum for demonstrations, hands-on activities, food, music, and tours. Continue your journey to the Farmers Market property for additional interactive stations, and finish the celebration at The Market Village, where you’ll find more music, activities, and community festivities. We look forward to celebrating Forest County’s rich history and bright future with you all month long! 🇺🇸🎉
