Lemont, Pennsylvania was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, thereby earning it a place of honor in the history of rural America. That same year the Lemont Village Association was founded as a nonprofit corporation committed to three goals:

· Promoting the awareness, appreciation, preservation, and significance of the historical traditions and architecture of Lemont;

· Providing avenues for addressing matters and finding solutions to problems affecting the village; and

· Improving the quality of life in the village by sharing information and organizing to reach common goals.

The John I. Thompson Grain Elevator and Coal Sheds (The Granary) is a Centre County, Pennsylvania, historic landmark. Built in 1885 by Moses Thompson, the Granary helped distribute locally grown agricultural products by way of the railroad. The grain elevator was used to store grain that was sold to local residents or shipped by railroad cars to surrounding areas, while the railroad building was used as a place for trains to deposit coal. The Granary is available as a venue for special events on a limited basis and according to the guidelines adopted by the Lemont Village Association (LVA).

The Lemont Village Association sponsors many events to foster a feeling of community in the Village and to encourage visitors to our town. Our events are mainly in the spring, summer, and fall and include a Plant Sale, Strawberry Festival, Friday Evening Concerts on the Village Green, Gourmet Fundraising Dinner in the fall, and the Haunted Granary.
