The Chester County Historical Society (CCHS) is a nonprofit educational institution that promotes an understanding of the history of Chester County and southeastern Pennsylvania, and its relationship to the region and the nation.
Come explore our permanent and changing exhibits, conduct research in our extensive library and photo archives, and get “hands-on” in our interactive History Lab.
Check out our calendar of events to see the wide array of public and school programs, Cultural Center performances, and holiday celebrations we offer throughout the year.
The home for CCHS is The History Center, a 48,000 square foot facility located in downtown West Chester, steps away from many restaurants and stores. Within the History Center are our museum, library, photo archives, museum shop and administrative offices. The Chester County Archives, which CCHS jointly administers with the County of Chester, is located in the Chester County Government Services Center.
