Exhibit Galleries! The Heritage Museum includes both permanent and rotating exhibit galleries featuring historical artifacts, photographs, and documents from the Society's collection. The KNBT Historical Exhibit Gallery focuses on Lehigh County history from the earliest Native American inhabitants to the German settlers of the 1700's through the Industrial Revolution to mercantile and wartime accounts from the 20 th century, leading to a reflection of our modern society.
The Lehigh Valley Heritage Museum's permanent exhibit explores the Lehigh Valley's history from the time before European settlement to the present in exciting and innovative ways. From the Lenni Lenape, through the settlement of the Pennsylvania Germans, to the development of nationally important industries such as iron, cement and silk, and into the present, this exhibit will introduce you to the valley's rich history. Come learn about what has made the region unique as well as the ways in our area has participated in broader state, national, and international events.
