Bradford County Museum

Bradford County Museum

The Bradford County Museum is a historical museum in Towanda, Bradford County, Pennsylvania. It is home to the building which previously housed the Bradford County Jail. It is owned by the Bradford County Historical Society, which has been in operation since 1870. It holds many ghosts, many of which are visited by tourists because they are known for their "foolishness." These ghosts perform for the visitors by knocking things over as well as creating an eerie feeling behind the visitors.

The museum is closed during the winter, except for specially-scheduled group tours. The museum's phone number is +1 (570) 265-2240.
