The Perry County Historical Society operates the Perry County History Museum in Runnelstown and actively seeks items connected to Perry County history. In 2026, the society specifically invited community members to donate or loan artifacts for the museum collection.

Historical organizations are selective and provenance matters. Save a trip! Contact the Perry County Historical Society before transporting documents, photographs, memorabilia, tools, military items, quilts, or other historical estate material.

For an executor, administrator, or family sorting estate property, this can be a useful targeted donation option when the listed goods are still usable but no longer needed by the estate. Do not assume the organization accepts every household item or an entire estate load. Confirm current condition standards, quantity limits, drop-off or pickup procedures, and whether bulky, unusual, or estate-sized donations can be accommodated before moving property.

Save a trip! Call first to confirm hours and that they are accepting what you’re bringing.
