Honor Our Own this Memorial Week-end at the Little Museum in Sterling Run
Honor Our Own this Memorial Weekend at the Little Museum in Sterling Run
The Little Museums officially opens this Saturday May 23. Our hours are from 1-4 PM Wed,
Sat, and Sun or by appointment.
Something many do not know is that our county has an amazing military history dating as far back as the Revolutionary hero's who came here as our counties first pioneers.
The Museum itself is packed full of Cameron Counties military history worth seeing.As we honor our 250th Anniversary of our nation you need to come for a visit to our amazing "Military Room." The room itself was added on in the 70's by our own veterans to honor Emporium's native son Four Star General Joseph McNarney who was listed among those as "The Class the Stars Fell On" at West Point.
In 1915 McNarney was commissioned as a second lieutenant of Infantry, and achieved four star general in 1945 holding a top post during WWII. After his death by his request his entire military collection of rare metals, uniforms, side arms, decorations, citations and so much more was donated to Cameron County Historical Society in 1972. It's a remarkable collection to see even for a brief visit while paying homage to our local hero's.
Upon entrance to the room you immediately walk on a Cameron County flagstone that was quarried from Sinnemahoning. This stone came from the same quarry for the walks used for the
construction of the "Tomb of the Unknown Soldier" at Arlington Cemetery and many other government buildings in Washington DC and throughout the country.
The room contains so much more in regards to our local hero's that include the Bucktails of the Civil War, WWI, and WWII displaying memorabilia, artifacts and photos and so much more.
Then there is the display of Sylvania's Exclusive Proximity Fuse that helped win the Battle of the Bulge and win the war itself. It was actually constructed at our Emporium Plant along with a huge collection of Sylvania products is beyond your imagination.
Did you know we were once the dynamite capital of the world dating back to 1889? Come visit the historic artifacts that remain of its history when we were one of the top major suppliers of
dynamite to Europe during WWI and furnished close to 90% of the dynamite to build the Panama Canal.
While at the Museum you will see we house so much more than just military for you, your friends and family to see of other interests. Before you leave you might want to check out our "Liberty Tree" that was planted in 2025 by the
Pennsylvania Freemasons. It is a symbol of the trees that served as rally points for the Sons of Liberty, staging grounds for protests against the British taxation and legendry sits and where
General Washington took command. Our tree is a clone of the historic 400 year old tulip poplar that once stood in Annapolis, Maryland that served as a rally point as well.
Come visit and learn about our counties military history this season at the Little Museum 1-4 PM
Wed, Sat, Sun, and by appointment. You can contact us by calling: 814-486-0334 or e-mail us at: historycenter1@windstream.net. We guarantee it's well worth a trip.
🚑 EMS WEEK 2026 🚑
Cameron County Ambulance Service, Inc
🚑 EMS WEEK 2026 🚑
This week, we celebrate the men and women of EMS who answer the call every hour of every day — often on someone’s worst day.
At Cameron County Ambulance Service, our crews do far more than respond to emergencies. They provide comfort in moments of fear, calm in moments of chaos, and compassionate care when it matters most. Whether it’s a life-threatening emergency, helping someone after a fall, supporting a family in crisis, or simply holding a patient’s hand during a difficult moment, EMS professionals make a difference every single day.
EMS is not just a job. It’s long hours, missed holidays, interrupted meals, sleepless nights, and the commitment to continue showing up for our community no matter what the day brings.
To our EMTs, our neighboring agencies and our ALS providers— thank you for your dedication, professionalism, teamwork, and heart. Your work does not go unnoticed, and this community is stronger because of you.
We are proud to serve Cameron County and grateful for the continued support from our community throughout the year.
Happy EMS Week to all EMS professionals

Armed Forces Day Saturday
Armed Forces Day Saturday
This Saturday, May 16, is Armed Forces Day, a day set aside to recognize and honor the men and women who are currently serving in a branch of our armed forces.
The day was first celebrated in 1950, soon after the branches of the military were united under the leadership of the U.S. Department of Defense. In his proclamation marking the day, President Harry S. Truman called upon fellow citizens to “display the flag of the United States at their homes on Armed Forces Day and to participate in exercises expressive of our recognition of the skill, gallantry, and uncompromising devotion to duty characteristic of the Armed Forces in the carrying out of their missions.”
Seek out opportunities to thank our men and women in uniform, not just this Saturday but every day.
Penalties for Using Handheld Devices Take Effect June 6
Penalties for Using Handheld Devices Take Effect
June 6
A Pennsylvania law banning the use of handheld devices while driving has been in effect since last June, with violators being issued warnings. Starting June 6, violators will instead face fines.
Paul Miller’s Law limits the use of handheld cellphones or other communication devices while operating a motor vehicle. The law is named for a young man who was killed in a crash involving a distracted tractor-trailer driver in Monroe County, Pennsylvania, in 2010.
Under the law, driving while holding a mobile device is a primary violation, meaning police can pull over drivers solely for the violation. Effective June 6, violators will be issued a summary offense, which carries a $50 fine, plus court costs and other fees. If a driver is convicted of homicide by vehicle and driving while distracted, they may be sentenced up to an additional five years in prison.
Drivers can still use their phones if using hands-free technology, such as a docking station, Bluetooth or speaker technology. You may also use your phone to contact emergency responders.
According to PennDOT, more than 11,000 crashes were the result of distracted driving, leading to 65 deaths and 6,700 injuries in 2023. Pennsylvania joins 28 other states with hands-free laws.
