The Pinegrove Historical Society is a volunteer organization dedicated to preserving,displaying, collecting and publishing the history of Pine Grove
& Twps
Pinegrove (now called Pine Grove) is located in the southwest corner of Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania just north of the Blue Mountain. Originally part of Berks County, the area was first settled by German settlers exploring the Swatara Creek. The town was incorporated in 1832 and became important as a transportation hub of the Union Canal, and later of the railroads, both of which carried coal from the county’s northern regions to Harrisburg, Reading, Philadelphia, and beyond.
The town was host to a number of textile mills for many years. This industry provided many area residents with jobs. Farming, coal, brick and tanneries were some other industries in this area.
The mission of the Pinegrove Historical Society shall be the discovery, collection, display, preservation, and publication of the archives and artifacts of the Pine Grove Area, and to provide educational opportunities to the community.
The General Store sells book, booklets, Pine Grove Pottery, reproduction post cards and photos. Recently vintage and antique items from local dealers are being sold as available on consignment basis or via donation.
