Mission Statement:
The mission of the Historical Society of the Phoenixville Area is to identify, collect, preserve, interpret, and disseminate materials and information pertaining to Phoenixville area history in order to assist and educate the public in understanding and appreciating their Phoenixville area heritage and how it relates to their lives.

Organized in 1977 from a Bicentennial planning group, the Society acquired the former Central Lutheran Church at Main & Church Streets in Phoenixville in 1980. This building houses the administrative office, museum, and social hall at street level with additional storage upstairs.
