Little Beaver Historical Society Podcast

Coming soon for Beaver County History Celebration Weekend, we present a special episode and online companion exhibit of the Little Beaver Historical Society Podcast exploring a wide range of issues related to farming and agriculture in Northern Beaver County–past, present, and future.

On episode 19 and special online companion exhibit of the Little Beaver Historical Society Podcast, we explore the world of historic sound in industrial Beaver County, including a discussion with historian Aaron Cowan, sounds from LBHS’s own McCarl Industrial Museum, and sonic examples from various industries such as farming, carpentry, bricklaying, blacksmithing, and more. 

On episode 18 and special online companion exhibit of the Little Beaver Historical Society Podcast, we explore the experience of the one-room school house, including many photographs of local schools and recorded stories from Beaver Countians who attended these schools. 

Thanks for Supporting the Little Beaver Historical Society

Great collections. I had no idea they had so much. A must see if you have any interest in local history.

Great history of all aspects of Beaver County. Everything from giant steam powered farm equipment to an IBM computer from 1948! Knowledgeable staff will demonstrate any of the working equipment.

I love to visit and look at the antiques from past times. Every year we go to Darlington Days and stop by to visit the museum.
