On Giving Tuesday, people around the globe will come together and show kindness and generosity by giving their voice, time, money, goods, and advocacy to support communities and causes.
With so many wonderful causes to support, we appreciate you considering the Westmoreland Historical Society. This year, we are spotlighting reconstruction of the Storehouse in the Fort at Historic Hanna’s Town. In early 2020, with the expertise on site to relocate the LeFevre log house, we decided to reinvigorate the Storehouse. Many volunteers have donated their time and talents to make this project possible. With the unexpected financial challenges brought on by COVID-19, now we need to replenish our storehouse!
$7 provides 1 foot of chinking materials (top to bottom)
$14 provides 2 feet of chinking material
$11 buys 1 foot of gutter
$34 funds the cost of the crane to move one log
$57 funds one linear foot of stone foundation
$107 puts new flashing on one side of the chimney
$140 funds a roof rafter
Our goal is to raise $8,087! Your gift helps us preserve the history of Westmoreland County and Historic Hanna’s Town.
Donate by visiting our website at https://westmorelandhistory.org/donate and clicking the PayPal link. You can also send checks to our office with “Giving Tuesday” in the memo.
Westmoreland Historical Society is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization registered in Pennsylvania and your donation is tax deductible.

Event Details
Come volunteer at the Westmoreland Historical Society and Historic Hanna’s Town!
We will be having our first volunteer meeting of the year on Wednesday, February 22nd and also on Saturday, February 25th. We will be having two meetings to accommodate everyone’s busy schedules. If you can’t make it Wednesday, come Saturday! Both meetings will begin at 1:00 p.m. in our Education Center.
Volunteers can work with the public by greeting visitors, leading programs and tours, and helping at the gift shop, or can assist behind-the-scenes shelving books in the library, setting up for events, or caring for our gardens. Volunteer hours are flexible and customizable. There are many ways to get involved and help us preserve and share local history.
This is a general meeting for returning and new volunteers to introduce themselves and to plan and discuss the upcoming season at Historic Hanna’s Town, with the intent of setting up later volunteer trainings and orientations for those interested in guided tours, school tours, etc. This will be a point of discussion at this volunteer meeting, and those interested in volunteering with the shop, library, or other opportunities can also call to set up private training.
Volunteering is a great opportunity to share your skills with others – and learn new ones, too. We are open to volunteers of all backgrounds, including but not limited to high school and college students, homeschool students, retirees, teachers, and history enthusiasts.
