Bellefonte Historical And Cultural Association
History
In the mid-1960's newcomers quickly acquired a deep appreciation for the historical significance of Bellefonte, its architecture, and its pivotal political role locally and statewide. The intrinsic beauty of the borough inspired them to collaborate with like-minded longtime residents to form the Talleyrand Park Committee in 1974. This committee planned and executed the present park architecture.
Over time, BHCA became an "umbrella" organization for a number of endeavors in visual arts, performance, and history. Some, like The Project for the Performing Arts and The Bellefonte Light Opera Company, have come and gone. But other exciting endeavors, listed on this website, enable peoples of various economic, educational, and cultural backgrounds to experience the spirit of Bellefonte.
In 1977 BHCA became incorporated as a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation. The original Articles of Incorporation required BHCA "To expand, foster, and promote... the Spirit of Bellefonte." We hope that BHCA-sponsored events bring that spirit to life.
