Fort Shirley Heritage Association headquarters and museum 

The Fort Shirley Heritage Association focus on the history of Shirleysburg and surrounding Shirley Township. Its name commemorates the pre-Revolutionary frontier fort in this area, which was one of a line of forts constructed during the French and Indian War to protect settlers from attack. Although the fort was not involved in any major battles, it served as a staging area for several campaigns during its brief existence (1755-56).

The Heritage Association has a small, varied collection of local artifacts including Native American items, furniture, clothing, photographs, and documents. The group publishes a community newsletter and sponsors community events in Shirleysburg during the year.
