One of Cambria's oldest homes is the Guthrie-Bianchini House, built in 1870 by Thomas Clendinen. Now the home of the Cambria Historical Museum, this lovely old building sits on the corner of Burton Drive and Center Street in Cambria's East Village. The original house, a small "salt box," was sold in 1882 to Benjamin Franklin (rumored to be a relative of THE Benjamin Franklin).
