Please come and take the grand tour of Austin Area’s past, at the E.O. Austin Museum, in Austin, PA. This museum has been constructed in the likeness of the actual home of the town's founder, E.O. Austin, outside it looks like a house, inside history comes alive!

The exibits include Grandpa and Grandma’s old horse drawn buggy, our soldiers' names that one graced the old Soldiers Monument in the Club lawn. History surrounding the town's founder E.O. Austin, Grandmas' old cook stove and the one room school made up of items, all from the area’s schools, past and present.

Visit the Nuschke/Brisbois Tea Room and see where Marie Nuschke wrote her books on turn-of-the century living in the Freeman Run valley. Gaze at the old red neon clock from Ralph’s Drug Store. The Military Display Room holds Japanese weapons brought back from the Pacific by the home town soldiers in WWII as well as photos and Barta Wold’s WWI Dolls she brought home from Rome, Italy in 1918.
