A consortium of local (SE PA) historic sites. Includes the obivous ones like the Brandywine Battlefield and Hopewell Furnace, but also the Mennonite Heritage Center in Harleysville and the Schwenkfelder Library in Pennsburg.

Interesting. There's some overlap with this organization and Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commision (PHMC).
