About the Lumber Heritage Region

The Lumber Heritage Region (LHR) is one of Pennsylvania’s twelve official Heritage Areas, spanning over 15 counties in Northwest and North Central Pennsylvania. The region represents a vital piece of America's industrial backbone—where logging camps, sawmills, and rivers once powered the nation’s growth. As a 501(c)(3) organization, LHR fosters a deep connection between the past and present by supporting heritage tourism, education, and community revitalization. The organization works with local governments, nonprofits, tourism bureaus, educators, and storytellers to create lasting impact, encourage regional exploration, and honor the traditions of sustainability, craftsmanship, and resilience that still define the region today.
