Stroll along Crafton's streets and you'll see one reason why the Crafton Historical Society was founded - beautiful turn-of-the-century homes. Although Crafton comprises just one square mile, there are more fine turn-of-the-century homes here than in many other Pittsburgh neighborhoods. Members of the Crafton Historical Society believe these houses and Crafton's rich history are worth preserving. The impetus for establishing the Crafton Historical Society was the borough’s 1992 centennial. A group of individuals met in 1987 to discuss how a community group could highlight the historical significance of the town. The founding members, led by Kathy Vincent, believed that capturing Crafton's history in writing and promoting the preservation and restoration of Crafton's homes were two vital goals for the group.
