Description:
For over a century, the Blair County Historical Society at Baker Mansion in Altoona, PA, has been dedicated to preserving regional history and sharing the story of the Elias Baker Family. Settling in the area in 1836, the Bakers rose to prominence through their success in iron-making, becoming a notably affluent family. Their story - marked by ambition, perseverance, wealth, and power - reflects themes that continue to resonate today. While their narrative remains a centerpiece of our museum, the Blair County Historical Society is equally committed to exploring and presenting the broader and more dramatic tapestry of regional history.
