It is based out of the Zimmerman Center for Heritage in Wrightsville, Pennsylvania, a historic home dating to the early 1700s.

It is a member of the Alliance of National Heritage Areas and HeritagePA, a statewide network covering Pennsylvania's Heritage Areas.

In 2020, the National Heritage Area was awarded $1,500,000 from the state of Pennsylvania to expand and construct a new discovery center.[4]
