In Sunbury, Pennsylvania, the Northumberland County Historical Society serves as a local history museum and research center based in the Hunter House Museum on the grounds of Fort Augusta. Chartered in 1925, it preserves artifacts, documents, photographs, and genealogical records that trace the county’s history from its earliest settlers to the present. Its home links it to Fort Augusta, built in 1756 during the French and Indian War, and to the later Hunter House, completed in 1852. The society’s collections include the fort’s powder magazine, archaeological finds, and Civil War objects, while its programs, library, and preservation work support both historical study and family research.
