The Tioga Point Museum was founded in 1895 by Louise Welles Murray, archaeologist and historian, to give a permanent home to the wealth of history, archaeology, and the art and artifacts of world cultures in Athens, Pennsylvania. It has often been referred to as a "museum of a museum" because it unites disparate collections from various community members who had travelled the world.
