History Lives Here
at Winters Heritage House Museum

Explore. Experience. Learn.

The stories that shaped our community are right around the corner at Winters Heritage House Museum and the Seibert Genealogy and Research Library. Come explore, touch, and experience history for yourself.

Here, Colonial Story Hour, sewing, quilting, gardening, hearth cooking, children’s activities, demonstrations, and historic tours all support the larger theme of preserving and sharing the skills, traditions, and experiences of earlier generations.

Located just a block from Elizabethtown’s square, our museum invites you to explore Colonial-era log structures, uncover family history, learn from community historians, and connect with neighbors who share your curiosity. Whether you visit once or become part of our volunteer family, there is always a way to belong here—and help us keep Elizabethtown’s past alive for the future.
