The West Pittston Historical Society will conclude its 2026 programming with a special Veterans Day tribute highlighting more than a century of local military history.
“The History of American Legion Post 542” will be presented at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 10, at Trinity Episcopal Church, 337 Spring St. in West Pittston.
Established in 1919, the post was originally named in honor of John D. Stark, who was the first West Pittston resident killed in World War I, and was later renamed to honor 1st Lt. Jeffrey DePrimo. The program will feature historic photographs and newspaper articles documenting the post’s history and its longstanding connection to the West Pittston community.
This final program of the Historical Society’s 25th anniversary year offers residents an opportunity to learn more about the veterans who served our country and the local American Legion post that has honored their legacy for more than 100 years.
The presentation is free and open to the public. An elevator is available for accessibility.
