Saturday, October 10, 2026 | 1:00–4:00 PM
The Lackawanna Historical Society’s Old-Fashioned Picnic at the Pothole takes place at Archbald Pothole State Park in Archbald, PA, on Saturday, October 10, from 1:00 to 4:00 PM. The special gathering celebrates the Society’s 140th anniversary at a landmark connected to its early history.
The Society helped preserve the Archbald Glacial Pothole beginning in the 1880s. It later received ownership of the pothole and surrounding land before eventually transferring the property to Lackawanna County.
The anniversary picnic includes a barbecue buffet with brisket, pork, chicken, smoked mac and cheese and coleslaw. Guests can also enjoy cake, and a cash bar will be available.
Tickets are $45, and reservations are required. The rain date is Sunday, October 11.
