We recently lost a dear member of the museum, Jan Bemis. She was a Charter member, along with her parents. Her roles included Vice-President and long-time Board Director. We were saddened to hear of her passing and our thoughts are with her family and friends during this difficult time. Her creativity, hard work, and dedication were amazing. She will be missed!

With the help of ECGRA, through a partnership with Erie Yesterday, our latest projects involve improving marketing opportunities for the museum and enhancing the meeting room and store in the museum.
The Corry Area Historical Society (CAHS) recently used a generous grant from the Northwest Bancorp Charitable Foundation to install a dehumidifying system from Flick's and Daniels. This will positively impact the meeting room, office area, and Archive room. We also used funds from our successful Erie Gives campaign from the Erie & Corry Community Foundations, along with our own funds. We greatly appreciate the support!
We thank the Corry Community Foundation, the Erie Community Foundation, ECGRA, Northwest Bancorp Charitable Foundation, Erie Gives, Erie Yesterday, Arlene H. Smith Charitable Foundation, sponsors, and our entire community for their generosity and support!
