Titusville Historical Society - Titusville, PA The Titusville Historical Society provides programming and support for family history and genealogy research, as well as local history research.

The Titusville Historical Society meets in Titusville, PA, part of the Oil Region National Heritage Area. The society represents Titusville and the immediate surrounding areas. We maintain a collection of artifacts, photographs, and manuscripts that are directly related to Titusville area history and genealogy. We are a membership-driven organization, providing email reference service for those wh

o have questions about genealogy and family history. We also provide physical programming, such as public talks on historic homes and interesting individuals from Titusville. Every year in the fall, we offer a full-day genealogy conference with local and regional speakers and venders. We play an important role in recognizing local and regional historic preservation achievements. It is our goal to also provide services virtually, through the development of a digitized collection. In addition, we have the long-term goal of securing a historic structure in Titusville to house our collection and our programs.

On this day in history: In 1911, Crawford County native Ray Harroun wins in the inaugural Indianapolis 500! Born in Spartansburg, Harroun considered himself more of a mechanic and inventor than a racer, and made important advances in automotive design.

To learn more about Harroun, check out the display at the Titusville Iron Works and the Fall 2023 issue of "Western Pennsylvania History" magazine, available at the Heritage Center.

Happy Birthday to Julien Bryan!

Born in Titusville in 1899 to parents Samuel S. Bryan and Bertha Hequembourg Bryan. Julien graduated from Titusville High School in 1916, and went on to explore the world and share his films with a national audience. He served in World War I, wrote "Ambulance 464" upon his return, studied at Princeton, and was one of the first American filmmakers to document the rise of N**i Germany in the 1930s. When he found himself in Poland as the N**is invaded, he didn't run away - he stayed to film the atrocities of that regime's total war, then smuggled the footage home to show to American audiences. Bryan died in 1974 is buried in Woodlawn Cemetery.
