The Smock Historical Society was formed in 1994 as a result of the nomination and placement of Smock,PA on the National Register of Historic Places. The Society, which began with 11 members, now numbers 120 with members all over the country.With the cooperation of the Smock Community Center, the Society has established the Smock Heritage Museum to preserve the heritage of this special coal mining community. The museum is located on the second floor of the Community Center which was formerly the H. C. Frick Company Store. Visitors will climb the exterior steps and enter an area that takes you back in time.

There are two murals to view, maps, aerial views of the town, artifacts, antiques, photographs, books, three rooms that replicate rooms in a "Patch House", a local "Cicconi" tavern display, a wedding gown display, and much more. If you are interested in handmade crafts, we also have a craft shop.
