The Perryopolis Area Heritage Society was organized in October 1988 by local residents who wanted to preserve, promote, and further develop the historical sites of the Perryopolis area. We are a Pennsylvania chartered organization, with 501(c) (3) not-for-profit status. Our current membership is approximately 250 and the Borough Council, local businesses, community churches, and the Frazier School District all strongly support us. At the time of our formation we set three goals: rebuild George Washington’s 1776 gristmill, reinstate the Perryopolis Pioneer Days Festival, and improve economic conditions of the area by encouraging tourism.
