Old Line Museum
Delta, PA
The
Old Line Museum was founded in the 1970's in order to preserve Delta's
unique history. It acts as a repository for artifacts related to the
famous Peach Bottom Slate Industry, the Scots-Irish pioneers, the
Welsh settlement, and other aspects of a typical small American early-industrial
boom town.
The museum is located at 640 Main Street in
Delta and is open on Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m. May through September,
and at other times by special appointment.
