In accordance with guidelines set by state and local officials, the Crawford County Historical Society and its museums – including the Baldwin-Reynolds House Museum at Mount Hope and the J. Russell Mosier Medical Office Museum – will reopen to the public starting in July.
The health and safety of our visitors and staff is the Historical Society’s top priority. The Society and its museums have established new procedures and policies to ensure you and your family will feel safe upon entering our buildings, conducting research, and enjoying our exhibitions.

HEALTH AND SAFETY POLICIES FOR PATRONS & STAFF
Visitors are requested to practice social distancing (remain at least six feet apart) throughout their museum or archive experience unless they are part of the same household. To assist with this at the Museum, an appointment will be required and can be made by the button above.
All visitors are required to wear face coverings upon entering our facilities while it remains a recommendation by the Pennsylvania Department of Health. If you forget to bring a face covering with you to the Society or our museums, disposable masks will be provided. Anyone not willing to wear a mask for the safety of others will be asked to leave until after COVID heath concerns have passed.
