    What is Local Historia?

    About us

    Local Historia is a passion for local history, community, and preservation. Our mission is to connect you with local history through engaging content, walking tours, and other unique experiences. Historical walking tours are at the heart of who we are. We also offer historical consulting services. 


    Local Historia is here to shine light upon the past, connect with community in the present, and preserve local history for the future. Historia is the root word for history and means to inquire. So at Local Historia, we are passionate about researching and sharing local history. In the process, we strive to give back to our community by working to preserve historical sites and stories. Local Historia LLC was established in 2019 and is located in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania. It is owned by public historians Matt Maris and Dustin Elder.


    "Through interpretation, understanding; through understanding, appreciation; 

    through appreciation, protection." -National Park Service
