The Logan Award is given to a person who embodies the ideals of service, learning, leadership, and excellence. It recognizes individuals whose considerable contributions have made a lasting impact in the
Philadelphia region and Pennsylvania.

James Logan (1674-1751) was a leading figure in colonial Pennsylvania. Logan was influential as a statesman, justice, natural scientist, merchant, and scholar. Between 1723 and 1730, he built his country house, Stenton, now an historic house museum. Logan’s legacy lives on through the stewardship and programs of the NSCDA/PA.

The Logan Awards Dinner benefits Stenton and the History Hunters Youth Reporter Program. To date, this national award-winning educational program has helped more than 50,000 underserved Philadelphia school children learn about their history through a year-long series of visits to four national historic landmarks and an art museum in Germantown.
