Text description provided by the architects. The Northampton County Historical & Genealogical Society curates one of the richest historical collections in Pennsylvania; however, due to lack of space less than one percent of this collection could be shared with visitors at any given time. The organization’s educational programming was similarly limited – not by the depth of opportunities but by the space available to accommodate visitors. With the dream of showcasing its collection and providing hands-on activities and experiential learning to the public, NCHGS commissioned Spillman Farmer Architects to adaptively reuse an existing building and help make history come alive.
