The Huntingdon County Heritage Committee was created in 1990, as part of a nine-county effort encouraged by the Southwestern Pennsylvania Heritage Preservation Commission. The Committee's original purpose was to develop a County Heritage Plan, which was completed in 1995. The Committee now works to promote the goals and projects included in the plan. It also brings together at its meetings various organizations and individuals involved in heritage events and activities in order to facilitate communication and cooperation among them.

The Heritage Committee is funded by the Huntingdon County Commissioners and administered by the Huntingdon County Historical Society. Richard Stahl, director of the Huntingdon County Planning Office, and Sandy Carowick, director of the Huntingdon County Historical Society, are co-chairs of the committee. The group meets quarterly, usually in the Historical Society’s exhibit gallery. To be added to the mailing list to receive meeting notices, call 814-643-5449.
