The Mahanoy and
Mahantongo Historical & Preservation Society was incorporated as a
non-profit organization in September, 1996. The Society "shall seek to
research, collect and preserve the historical heritage of the Mahanoy and

The Society offers monthly gatherings to hear about the local history and persons who helped make it, period publications, local tours as well as opportunities to "dig in" and restore historical structures throughout the area. Your membership contributions of money, time, or artifacts will support the activities which will realize the dreams of this organization.
Meetings are held at 7:00 PM on the third Tuesday of each month (except December) at the Trinity UCC Church, Dalmatia, Pennsylvania although some meetings are held in other places of local interest.
