The Library is the best research tool

Welcoming facility hosting Chester County history.
I loved this little museum we got there about an hour and a half before and it was great there is a history lab where you can put together a chair or play old games learn how butter was churned we had the run of the place and was able to learn and explore this little gem
Love all things historic.Good place
There is a charge to see the meusem section or the research library. So I did not visit past the gift shop and receptionist.
Need to research a Chester County family, person, place.. head on over the library at the Chester County Historical Society. Just a reminder the library is closed during January.
Limoncello hosted Toys for Tots. Wonderful event.
My niece had her wedding there and it was a very nice place
Excellent place to have get together, lots of Chester County historical memorabilia on display

Chester County History if fascinating. Excellent library for family research. Archive resources excellent.
Very cute!!! Great for all ages!
This was the best exhibit of clothing over the years! Was impressed how it was set up as the years progressed. Exceptionally well done!
I have been a member since 1985 (many people dont realize you can join the society) and I use the research library on a regular basis. I was prompted to write a review here because of the excellent (and always unique) exhibits and programs. They always think of new ways to present topics such as the recent pairing of Longwood garden experts with Adrian Martinez s current art exhibit on the 18th century botanist, Humphry Marshall. The show is up until at least December. Be sure to see it!
I attended the lecture about the Sharples Separator at Greystone last night. What a wonderful evening! The speakers were very knowledgeable and the venue was perfect!I look forward to next Tuesday evenings lecture.
Not so hidden gem in Chester County. Love this place!
Hats off to the genealogy source that the CCHS provides in the community. The first Coatesville/Downingtown Swisher/Troupe to arrive in Chester County was in 1875 coming from Berks Co for work in the steel mills. I have found numerous documents over the years following the paths of the descendants. The Swisher family first arrived at the Port of Philadelphia in 1732 sailing from Switzerland. Thank you.Jean Timmerman-Swisher, West Chester, Pa. 9-2016
