Northampton County Historical & Genealogical Society
Description
The Society was founded in 1906, and incorporated in 1910, as a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the history of Northampton County, Pa. We are most happy to help families trace their family history. This is often a complicated task. The information is intended to help guide you in making the search for your ancestors as rewarding as possible.
The Northampton County Historical and Genealogical Society explores the history of Northampton County through the use of everyday objects, books, and other items in its collection. The Mixsell House Museum occupies a home dating to the early 19th century and houses paintings, furniture, tools, silver and chinaware, dolls, needlework, weapons and uniforms, jewelry and Native American artifacts dating from pre-colonial times to the present. In addition to its permanent collections, the Museum mounts temporary exhibits throughout the year.
The Mary Illick Library contains over 5,000 volumes of local history and family background and is a vital source of information for hundreds of research projects. The library staff assists researchers in the library and efficiently answers the many requests that come in the mail.
