Our facilities are in two locations, the museum at the Depot on Broad Street and the Zim Home on Pine Street. The home was designed and built by Eugene Zimmerman and his father in law. “Zim” a renowned political cartoonist in the 1800’s who married a local girl and settled in our community. The Bandstand in Teal Park was also designed and built by “Zim” and his father-in-law. At the time Zim org

anized a band, known as The Zim band and played concerts in the park. This tradition continues to this day in the summer months. Zim House was conveyed in 1980 to the Historical Society by Laura Zimmerman, Zims only child. The home includes all of the original contents consisting of papers, sketches, correspondence, furniture and many fine mementos of Zim’s life, is on the National Register. The Railroad Depot, now the Museum at the Depot is located on W Broad Street, was purchased by the Historical Society and restored for use as a museum, displaying artifacts of our local history.
