Our Mission
Built in 1843 by United States Supreme Court Justice Henry Baldwin, the Baldwin-Reynolds House Museum is the premier home of history, the arts, and cultural experiences in northwest Pennsylvania. Our mission is to bring history and the arts to life...and to the lives of our community. Through FREE tours generously sponsored by Visit Crawford - The Crawford County Convention and Visitors Bureau, an extensive event and program schedule, and complete immersion in one of the largest and most significant collections of art in western Pennsylvania, we are proud to advance this mission.
Our Currect Projects
From our Biannual "Trees of Christmas" celebration to dinner theaters, lectures, and more- the museum is alive with activity year-round!
Trees of Christmas
The Meadville Garden Club has been a 40+ year partner of the museum in their decorating of the mansion for the Christmas season. Their ever popular event will return in 2022!
Great Performances
From the great american satirist Mark Russell, to an upcoming concert by the America's Got Talent stars, VOX, the museum brings the best and brightest minds, voices, and senses of humor to Meadville for the enjoyment and enrichment of the community.
Free Tours
Through a partnership with the Crawford County Convention and Visitor's Bureau, the museum is proud to announce our general summer tours are free and open to the public. We couldn't be happier to bring history to life for more people each year through this program!
