The remodeled and repurposed Federal House is home to the Susan Hirt Hagen Center for Community Outreach, Research, and Evaluation (CORE), an initiative of Penn State Behrend’s School of Humanities and Social Sciences.
Federal House, the oldest brick structure in Harborcreek Township, underwent a $6.6 million restoration and expansion, funded by private support and by the University. A modern addition created 11,000 square feet of new meeting, training, event, and office space.
Susan Hirt Hagen CORE provides school-focused and community programs for area youth as well as research and evaluation services to youth development organizations, social service agencies, and other groups in northwestern Pennsylvania.
