Now on Display: Tyrone Area School District

Step into more than a century of Tyrone schooling. Our current exhibit gathers the photographs, programs, and everyday objects that trace the Tyrone Area School District — from its earliest buildings to the classrooms remembered by generations of Golden Eagles.
