The Boalsburg Heritage Museum Association was founded at a meeting held at Duffy’s Tavern on September 28, 1982. The goal of ... the meeting was to establish an historic museum and the first Board of Directors included Ron Coder, Ruth Corter, Anne Riley, Fern Hess, and Elinor Green. Subsequently, Ken Tennis, Jeff Biddle, and Stuart Frost were named as members by the Boalsburg Conservancy. Ruth Corter was President, Stuart Frost was Vice President, Ron Coder served as Treasurer, and Elinor Green, Secretary. Since that time, the volunteers and donors in the community have supported the BHM Association. In 1983, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Aikens purchased the Sweet House on the corner of Loop Road and Main Street and deeded it to the Museum as a gift. In 1997, Mrs. Ruth Corter left a significant portion of her estate to the Museum. Exhibits, lectures, social events, and school field trips fulfill the stated purpose of the museum – to promote awareness of the rich heritage of Boalsburg and the surrounding community. read more
