Our Mission

The W. S. Hancock Society is dedicated to educating the public about the history and life of Major General Winfield Scott Hancock.

As part of our work, we provide interpretive and educational outreach programs and historical consulting work for various private, state and federal organizations throughout the United States, as well as, serving as a support organization for those sites related to the history and memory of Winfield Scott Hancock. This is accomplished through a variety of media contacts, public living history demonstrations, historical displays and fund raising efforts for the preservation and restoration of these sites, structures and monuments.

In an ongoing attempt to remember his heroic deeds and honorable dedication to the United States Constitution, we also conduct Memorial Day services at his mausoleum in Montgomery Cemetery, Norristown, Pennsylvania and at his headquarters' cannon located in Gettysburg National Military Park every Remembrance Day.

As the W. S. Hancock Society, it is our pledge to pursue these endeavors accurately, with the dignity and honor befitting this great American.
