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.
SUPPORT A STAMP FOR COAL MINERS
Support the effort to get a postage stamp created in honor of coal miners. Visit www.coalminerstamp.com and see how you can help in this effort. Voice your support and pass on the info. Coal mining is a large part of PA history. A postage stamp is a great way of honoring miners, past and present.
The museum is closed for the winter but will reopen June 5th through October 30th from 11AM to 4PM, SATURDAYS ONLY. You can also visit us Sunday through Friday by appointment only. Please call Eleanor Vrabec at (724) 677-2371 or Nadine Sethman (724)677-2254 to schedule a visit.

An Ethnic Church
An ethnic church has been added to our Museum. Appreciation goes to Nick Bozek, son of George III and Cheryl Bozek, on the completion of our church. Nick, under the direction of Scout Master, Roger Rittenhouse, earned his Eagle Scout Badge for the project. The former parishioners of St. Casimir of Keisterville graciously donated the church's alter and other artifacts. They put their resources together and made sure these items stayed in the area when their church recently closed. Also, we have received items from St. Hedwig and Pleasantview Church. We are asking all churches of Smock to bring something to our church display in the museum.
