 Summit Historical Museum  Bridge to Bridge Greenbelt  Preservation & Renewal
What do you see when you look at these two pictures? An abandoned old house with a leaky roof? We see the home of the first child born in Summit, built in about 1870 -- we see an opportunity ripe for preservation and restoration. We see a Historical Museum for Summit! Will you help us achieve our goal to relocate and restore this historic treasure, thereby creating a museum for area residents and visitors to enjoy? At its core, Summit is an old rail town that in many ways time and industry have passed by. But things do not have to remain that way -- Summit's rail corridor has been targeted for a facelift in the form of tree planting and landscaping that will turn it into a greenbelt, from the Grant Street overhead Bridge to the Meadville overhead bridge. The Historical Museum will sit in the midst of this greenbelt near Robb Street, on the east side of the railroad. The Summit Historical Society was formed to take a leadership role and to be proactive in the preservation movement in this community. There is simply too much at stake, in the form of irreplaceable buildings and historical assets, that will be permanently erased from our landscape if we fail in this effort. If you would like to join in this effort or get more information about how you could benefit, please contact us through the webmail link or click on the Support & Resources tab above.
