Isett Heritage Museum

The Isett Heritage Museum is one of central Pennsylvania’s most remarkable hidden gems, a sprawling collection of over 40,000 artifacts spread across three buildings on a scenic ridge just east of Huntingdon. Founded by local resident Melvin Isett, who spent a lifetime gathering antiques and memorabilia tied to the community, the museum offers narrated tours, free admission, and a genuinely memorable afternoon for families and history lovers alike. Nestled in flower beds and fruit trees with sweeping views of surrounding ridges and mountains, the setting is as impressive as the collection inside. Visitors consistently rate it among their favorite museums — whether they're drawn by antique vehicles, firearms, household relics, or the fascinating local stories woven through every exhibit.
