The Lackawanna Historical unveiled its America250 showcase, “Lackawanna Looks Back,” a series of 10 pop-up exhibits to be placed at Lackawanna County senior centers and libraries. Following Tuesday’s unveiling at the Scranton Public Library’s Henkelman Room, the banners will be on display at the Lackawanna Historical Society, Lackawanna County Children’s Library, Taylor Community Library, Valley Community Library, Abington Community Library, North Pocono Library, and United Neighborhood Center’s senior centers in Scranton, Jessup, Carbondale and Clarks Summit. “Lackawanna Looks Back” spotlights various Lackawanna Valley communities, telling stories about how each municipality is unique, but also highlighting similarities that tie us together. Each panel reproduces maps, photographs, postcards, newspaper clippings, and objects from the collection of the Lackawanna Historical Society.
