Clearfield County is full of old and historic locations, buildings and remnants of by gone eras. Come and cache Clearfield County to learn about its rich history through ghost towns, abandoned cemeteries, Civil War uprising and its rich Native American presence.
This cache is placed on the grounds of the Clearfield County Historical Society. The museum is located in the historic Bigler House. This property was deeded in 1825 by Abraham Witmer to A.B. Reed, a descendent from an early Clearfield settler, making it one of the county's earliest recorded property transactions. According to an early map of the borough, the lot was owned by William Bigler who served as governor of PA from 1852-1855 and was a U.S. Senator from 1856-1861. He was the only Clearfield County resident to serve as governor of PA. The present building housing the museum was constructed in the 1880's by Governor Bigler's son Wm. Dock Bigler. The museum is open on Thursdays and Sundays from May 3rd through October 25th from 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm.
