A historical treasure in Vandergrift has reopened.
Vandergrift Mayor Barbara Turiak said she welcomed the news of the Victorian Vandergrift Museum and Historical Society opening again, after being closed for more than a year because of the pandemic.
“It’s a must-visit in Vandergrift,” she said. “The volunteers gave me a tour once and I spent three hours there and never left the first floor.”
The museum, housed in the former Sherman School built in 1911, is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Thursdays and Fridays. Free tours are available.
Offering three floors of donated items, artifacts and memorabilia related to Vandergrift’s history, society President Anthony Ferrante said the museum was fortunate to financially survive its extended closure.
