The Wright House The Peters Creek Historical Society has been serving the expanding history-minded interests in the Finleyville and surrounding communities in Allegheny and Washington County since 1967. The members have a wide variety of interests - from quilting, Whiskey Rebellion, genealogy, early coal mining, and local memorabilia - to just plain interest in local history. Members of the Society conduct diverse research, serve on numerous committees, and some present talks regarding aspects of local history. While a member's research project is usually private and at one's leisure, members can always count on other members when they need assistance.
