The Governor Wolf Historical Society was founded in February of 1958 after the Wolf Academy Restoration Society and Bath Area Historical Society merged under the presidency of Elias W. Spengler.

Today the Society is active in preserving the Lehigh Valley's rich historic heritage. We are restoring the Ralston-McKeen House, Wolf Academy and the Siegfried Log Cabin, and coordinating local archaeological digs at these sites. We also actively provide local schoolchildren with educational programs that teach about life in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth centuries.
