The Everhart Museum was established in 1908 to foster knowledge and enjoyment of natural history, science, art, and culture and continues to do so through exhibitions, programs, and events for people of all ages and backgrounds throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania. The Museum cares for the collections entrusted to it to preserve the region’s cultural and natural heritage as well as to document art, culture, and natural objects globally, facilitating a deeper connection between the community and the world around them, near and far.
