Sayre Historical Society Museum
The Dream Begins
In December 2002 the Sayre Historical Society signed a 99-year lease with Sayre Borough for the former Lehigh Valley Railroad Passenger Station in the amount of one dollar to be paid yearly. That act began the long-held dream of the Society for a museum to represent "all of Sayre."
Planning began to renovate and restore the stately Queen Anne Victorian-styled station to prepare it to house the Sayre Historical Society Museum.
The museum will contain displays which highlight Sayre's illustrious past, its people and industries. To that end, for example, items from the former Valley Railroad Museum collection have been returned by the Bradford County Historical Society to Sayre to become part of the displays featuring the renowned Lehigh Valley Railroad history in Sayre.
These items, along with many others donated by individuals or companies will be placed on display within the station museum. The SAYRE HISTORICAL SOCIETY is an organization formed to preserve the history of Sayre, Pennsylvania, and to share it with the public of all ages...
