Our staff and volunteers are busy working on a book - BUTLER COUNTY SCHOOLS. This book will include township maps marking the location of each school, photos of the schools and children, and some reminiscences. Do you have old photos of the schools that are located in Butler County? We would appreciate all photo donations and reminiscences and will use as many as we possibly can. If you have original photos that you do not want to part with, would you be willing to let us scan the photos and give us permission to use the images? We would like to be able to include every school in the county in this book. Contact us as bchissoc@zoominternet; or call 724-283-8116; or mail or drop off your photos at 123 West Diamond Street, Butler, PA 16001.

Thank you for your help in this endeavor!!!

The Butler County Historical Society was founded in 1927, when a group of residents met to discuss ways to preserve local history. In 1960, the Society was incorporated as a private non-profit entity. In 1991, it was designated the official historical organization of Butler County. At its office, the Society maintains a resource library of historical records and documents relating to the county that can be used by the public for research. The Society also owns and operates four historic sites: the Butler County Heritage Center, Cooper Cabin Pioneer Homestead, the Little Red School House, and the Lowrie/Shaw House.

If you have items of historic value to Butler County that you would like to see preserved, please call and talk to our President, Pat Collins.
