Anthracite
Heritage Museum
In honor of 250 years of anthracite
coal mining in the United States,
the Leadership team will help the
community to “Rediscover the
Anthracite Heritage Museum.” This
project has two main goals — to
celebrate the museum’s unique history
and culture and increase patronship
— and consists of an event with the
unveiling of a commemorative coal and
etched glass sculpture.
Lackawanna
Heritage Valley
The Leadership Lackawanna group
developed a “founder’s day” type
event celebrating local heritage. This
free, family-friendly community event
was held at the Olive Street Trailhead
along the Downtown Scranton Riverwalk
on Saturday, April 28, 2018 and
contained various exhibits, activities and
performances, like historically relevant
song and dance from the Act Out Theatre
Group. For more information, visit

Nay Aug Park
City of Scranton
Located in Nay Aug Park, the Pavilion,
formerly known as the Everhart or
Marmie Pavilion, was built in 1897 and
is among the fi rst buildings erected
in the park. Time has taken a toll on
this pavilion, so the team plans to
revitalize and refurbish it and complete
various landscaping tasks. For more
