“PRESERVING OUR REGIONS PAST”

WYALUSING VALLEY MUSEUM ASSOCIATION, INC.

About Us

The Wyalusing Valley Museum Association was started in 1976 headed by William Keeler and James Eaton and many other Wyalusing residents as a tribute to the bicentennial of our nation. The displays were located in the Wyalusing Borough Hall and lasted one year.

In late 1979 a group of citizens concerned about how to preserve the history of Wyalusing got together to reform the Wyalusing Museum and set up a committee

Elected officers were:

Michael Kilmer, President

Elenor Keeler, Vice President

Robert Cerniglia, Secretary

Vincent “Bill” Bendinsky, Treasurer

The Wyalusing Valley Museum was officially opened in 1980 and located in the basement of the Wyalusing Public Library.

In the recent past the museum was approached by local residents, A. Kay Welles Homer and her husband Dean to ser if the museum would like to relocate to the more spacious" Bixby House” on the Welles Estate in East Wyalusing. 

The Homer’s offered to lease the Bixby House, Barn, Carriage House, Corn Crib, many acres, and a large collection of items of historical value to the Wyalusing Valley. We can’t thank Kay and her family enough for all they have done for the museum as we continue to grow and educate.
