About Mifflinburg Buggy Museum

The museum preserves the buggy-making heritage of Mifflinburg in Union County. Its story starts with a group of local residents, led by a retired history professor, who wanted a museum to honor that craft. The site also covers the Heiss family, whose members were tied to the buggy trade, and the early settlement history of the area. Visitors can take guided tours, and the visitor center accepts donations. Hours are seasonal, so check before going.
