Pearl S. Buck International, based in Hilltown, has been awarded a $33,400 grant from the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC), as announced by Rep. Shelby Labs of Bucks County.

The funding is part of the Cultural and Historical Support Grant Program administered by the PHMC. This initiative aims to provide general operating support to museums and official county historical societies in Pennsylvania that do not receive direct support from other state agency programs.

“I am so happy to see Pearl S. Buck International receive this grant from the PHMC,” said Labs. “I have had multiple opportunities to visit the Pearl S. Buck House and museum, and they do an excellent job at providing the history of one of Bucks County’s most influential residents.”

Pearl S. Buck was recognized with a Nobel Prize for literature in 1938. Her literary work often drew on her experiences growing up in China as the daughter of missionaries, including her time teaching at the University of Nanking in Nanjing during the 1920s. Later in life, she founded a permanent foster home for U.S.-born mixed-race children of Asian descent located in Hilltown.
