Tyrone History Book — 1850 to 1950  We’re proud to offer a republication of Ralph T. Wolfgang’s book, A Short History of Tyrone Borough [1850–1950].   From Wolfgang’s text, we can learn more about the early settlers and developers of Tyrone. The importance of iron ore and the process leading to providing “pig iron” to many outlying areas from Tyrone Forges, is just one of the topics that Mr. Wolfgang has written very informatively. We’ve added twenty-four photographs from our collection, a chronology of Tyrone Borough, and a foldout copy of the 1873 Pomeroy map of Tyrone.  The book is available at four locations in Tyrone: the Chamber of Commerce office, Gardners Candies, the Tyrone History Museum, and the office of the Tyrone Area Historical Society. Only $15 (paperbound) — plus $2 by mail
