Welcome to Isett Heritage Museum

One of the most unique museums in Pennsylvania

Welcome

The Isett Heritage Museum with its spectacular aerial view is approximately two miles east of Huntingdon, Pennsylvania located at 11941 Stone Creek Ridge Road. Founder Mr. Melvin Isett(1922-2022) and his wife Beulah spent their entire lifetime collecting local Huntingdon memorabilia and antiques. In 2001, Mr Isett opened the museum to share his collection with the public. Today the displays showcase over 40,000 artifacts. The museum is family-oriented, educational, and entertaining for all ages. When visiting the museum visitors have an option to browse the several buildings at their leisure or take the recommended narrated tour that normally takes about two hours.
We welcome individuals, organizations, churches, schools, and bus tours.
No reservations are required for tours. The museum is open year-round, handicap accessible, with convenient parking for buses or large groups.

The location was absolutely beautiful with great attention to the grounds and flowers. Justine and her staff were amazing with providing for every need we had for tables, seating, a charcoal grill and even assisted with the food trucks that we had coming in. It was an occasion that was enjoyed by family and friends. if you have never visited, you should do so - the museum is curated so well, the guides are knowledgeable and you will enjoy it. whatever age you are. I could go on and on but I suppose on a scale of one to 10 I would have to give it a 10 plus

 recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. This is truly a well kept secret.  Wonderful displays, beautifully and lovingly maintained.  Everyone will find something to tug at their heartstrings.  Brought back many memories, some laughs, and a few tears.  Well worth the trip but plan to spend at least 2-3 hours here - the place is huge!  We didn’t get to meet Mr. Islett  but the staff representative was charming.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Awesome place.  I have been to MANY museums, and consider myself a museum junkie.  Somehow I never had been to this hidden Huntingdon County gem.  I finally got there earlier this year, and of the dozens of museums that I have been to, this is my favorite one.  It has been in my own back yard for a long time, and I never realized it!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to the museum by myself two years ago, and liked it so much I went back last week with my sister, brother-in-law, and a cousin. We had a blast discussing all the items that caught our eye! I can't think of any privately owned museum I've enjoyed more. There is a massive amount of items to look at.

Our guide Heather was super knowledgeable and chill, loved cracking jokes with us and letting us go at our own pace, easily spent over 2 hours looking at everything, the variety of the collection is super impressive, well worth the ticket cost
