Yes there is another computer museum in south-eastern Pennsylvania and it’s called the PA Computer and Technology Museum, better known as The Computer Church, located in Parkesburg, PA. The museum is run by Michael Pearson. The Computer Church contains a large and growing collection of historically-significant classic computing artifacts on display, some of which can only be found here. If you like the Kennett Classic computer museum, you won’t be disappointed by a visit to the Computer Church to see what’s there.

Michael Pearson and I have been meeting informally this fall to discuss how Kennett Classic can help contribute to the development of the “Computer Church” museum and to share our resources. I have offered to have Kennett Classic help with a volunteer coordination, group communiation and object restoration. We can leverage our experience running a computer museum to benefit the Computer Church including exhibits and artifact restoration, library assistance, museum docenting and presentations. We have initiated plans to have an every other-month public event at the museum for Kennett Classic alumni and the general public. The events will include a lecture or presentation to review recent museum updates and the computer history topic of the month. Although we don’t have plans for full workshops or full-blown vintage computer festivals at the museum we have been working on ways to get some hands-on projects and classic computing demo events. The lectures will be listed in our 2026 kennettclassic.com calendar page.

In addition to the 6 yearly public events, we will run monthly planning meetings. Our next monthly planning meeting will be November 18th at 1PM. At this meeting we will specifying priorities and related service needs, volunteer opportunities, and the 2026 schedule of lecture events. If you’re a former Kennett Classic volunteer or docent and would like to participate in this meeting or future meetings, please contact me here. I will be at the November 18th meeting.

For reference, Parkesburg is located about 15 miles from Kennett Square. Currently the Computer Church is open to the public by appointment only. Visitor details, directions, parking, etc. can be found here.
