Historians give talks on history, construction, and women’s impact on Wyoming Monument

WYOMING, LUZERNE CO. (WOLF) — A small crowd gathered in Wyoming to hear about some local history.

Presented by the Luzerne County Historical Society in celebration of Women’s history month and America’s 250th birthday, speakers detailed the history of the Wyoming monument – a tribute to the fallen American soldiers that were killed in the Battle of Wyoming, one of the most consequential US defeats in the Revolutionary War. During the program, the presentation explored the battle, the building of the monument, and the critical role women played in the obelisk’s funding and preservation.
