How the Conyngham Valley Historical Society Began
A group of people banded together as a Centenial Committee to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Conyngham's incorporation as a borough. Interest in valley history stemmed from a presentation of local artifacts which were a part of a display to celebrate the 100th anniversary. Interest grew and citizens expressed a desire to form a Historical Committee; thus the name was changed from Centennial Committee to Historical Committee.
