PRESERVING LOCAL HISTORY.
INSPIRING FUTURE GENERATIONS.
Every Community Has a Story Worth Sharing
Why Local History Matters
Every community has a story worth telling.
From historic buildings and town squares to family traditions and community memories, local history helps us understand who we are and how we got here.
Past Forward works to preserve, celebrate, and share these stories so they can continue to inspire future generations.
Our Mission
Past Forward is a Pennsylvania-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that supports communities in preserving, celebrating, and sharing their unique local histories through educational opportunities, preservation initiatives, and collaborative programming.
