The Canoe Place Historical Society, based in Port Allegheny, Pennsylvania, is dedicated to preserving, celebrating, and sharing the rich history of Port Allegheny and the surrounding region.

The Canoe Place Historical Society was founded to:

-Educate future generations about the region’s cultural and historical significance.
-Support genealogical research for individuals tracing their family roots.

Notable Activities and Projects:
