Isett Heritage Museum is one of the most unique museums in Pennsylvania. The museum is not on a major highway. It can be found about two miles east of Huntingdon Borough, located on Stone Creek Ridge Road. The ridge road has a spectacular aerial view of numerous surrounding mountains and ridges overlooking approximately twenty miles. The museum buildings are nestled on beautiful fields surrounded by numerous flower beds and fruit trees, a perfect setting for Mr. Isett’s dream come true. Mr. Melvin Isett, born in Huntingdon County in 1922, spent his entire lifetime collecting antiques and memorabilia with a dream to open a museum. In 2001, shortly after Mr. Isett’s retirement, his private collection was opened to the public in a renovated barn on the property. In 2004 the museum expanded to include a ten thousand square foot building, and once again in 2008 another ten thousand square foot building was added. The buildings are home to a collection of over forty thousand items from Mr. Isett, his family and donations. After completing your tour, we hope you will take the time to browse through the gift shop.
The Isett Museum is closed for the winter season and will reopen in 2026. Please take a moment to fill out the following survey to help guide future plans for the museum: https://juniata.co1.qualtrics.com/…/SV_e2jlPSBZaKayBOm
