The Chester County History Center was established by the community back in 1893. At first the center was dedicated to locating and preserving just about anything related to West Chester history and this collection formed the core of the museum when it eventually opened in the historic Horticultural Hall in 1942. The collection includes hundreds of documents and artifacts which tell the story of all historic aspects of life in the south east of Pennsylvania. Today the Chester County History Center Museum boasts both permanent and changing exhibits aimed at educating visitors about how history has impacted our modern lives. The museum is open to the public from Tuesday to Saturday from 9.30am to 4.30pm.
