May 2020 on the Trails of History

As part of the Commonwealth's network, PHMC's Trails of History sites remain closed to the public and will reopen at the direction of the Governor's administration.

The best way to stay up-to-date on site activities is through social media. Facebook links for Trails of History sites are available below. (The March program page has a list of website addresses.)

For information on the Coronavirus (COVID-19), visit the Pennsylvania Department of Health. Thank you and stay safe.
