Visiting the Museum
The 1838 Marion Kennedy King property, located at the corner of Main and Water Streets in Allensville, PA, became the permanent location for the Kishacoquillas Valley Historical Society in April 1991. Along with the purchase of the Kennedy home came its rich history as the General Wayne Hotel, stagecoach stop, tavern, polling place, doctor’s office, post office, and ice cream parlor. All of these factors were important in their own way in contributing to the development of the village of Allensville.
Since it’s beginning the Society has been collecting local artifacts from Amish, Mennonite, Scots-Irish, and German ancestry.
