We Need Your Help!
Donate to the Roof Fund
The HGSIC is in need of a new roof for the Armory. Help the Society to preserve this National Register of Historic Places Structure and the many county treasures inside. Our goal is to raise $100,000 by August.
If you do not wish to make an online payment but still wish to support the project, you can send a check to the museum with "roof fund" in the memo line to show your support.

Comment (optional)
Indiana County is the hometown of actors, artists, and Christmas trees famous the world over. It’s also home to inventors, political leaders, and military heroes. But its real story is told through everyday working people - miners, lumbermen, factory workers, pioneer mothers, nurses, and “home-front” heroes.
The Historical and Genealogical Society of Indiana County is dedicated to preserving this dynamic history. Nestled in the heart of Indiana at the intersection of South 6th Street and Wayne Avenue, the HGSIC operates in two buildings, the Clark House and the Armory, both on the National Register of Historic Places.
Enter the Clark House and step back into the Victorian era. The house has two restored parlors with period furniture and artifacts. Join the Clarks for a guided tour of the home. It also hosts a variety of programs throughout the year including Ladies Teas and the annual Christmas Open House.
Inside the Armory, experience the vibrant history of Indiana County through artifacts and memorabilia in the Historical Museum. Join us in honoring the thousands of Indiana County men and women who served in conflicts from the Revolutionary War to the present day in the Memorial to the Veterans. Searching for your ancestors? The Helman Library is a genealogical and county history research library that serves thousands of patrons each year.
