Trailheads Rec Room - Collections Gallery

This is a page to share posts highlighting the vast array of collections held at Trails of History sites and museums, as well as the Pennsylvania State Archives.

If you enjoy exploring our collections online, be sure to visit the PHMC's Museum Collections portal or the PA State Archives online research page.
