Award Winning History Attraction in the Poconos

nvision descending slowly 300 feet beneath the earth in a mine car through an anthracite coal mine originally opened over 150 years ago. Sunlight faintly waning in the distance as your group of up to 28 passengers continues its journey alongside a miner; while underground gangways and rock tunnels take you past three veins of hard coal. This is the Lackawanna Coal Mine Tour and it is fascinating! This nationally recognized award winning history attraction invites you for a glimpse into the depths that fostered the backbone of the 19th Century industrial economy. A time when men and boys labored to extract the fuel that would heat a nation. With an up close look and feel LCM offers intriguing details of the time and region eagerly absorbed by guests of all ages. RD 1 Bald Mountain Road, McDade Park in Scranton is your gateway into Lackawanna Coal Mine. It’s open now through November 30, closing for the Thanksgiving Holiday, with tours scheduled on demand after the box office opens at 10:00 a.m. beginning typically within an hour of the first guest registration. The final tour leaves around 3:00 p.m. after the last signup of the day so it’s suggested you arrive no later than 2:45. Group Discounts are available with additional amenities including ample parking for buses, vending machines and a gift shop open until 5:00 p.m. Tickets are $10 for Adults, Seniors $9.50, Military $9 and Children age 3-12 $8.

Quiet Valley Welcomes
Pocono State Craft Festival D
istinctive crafts and more await all amidst the scenic splendor that is Quiet Valley Living Historical Farm at the 28th Annual Pocono State Craft Festival Saturday, August 23 and Sunday, August 24. Fine jewelry, woodworking, stained glass and pottery are but a few of the items adding to this shopper’s delight as Dixieland and Bluegrass music echoes through the hillside while friends feast on festival foods. Calling PSCF a “community partnership at its best” Quiet Valley’s Deb Dipasquale compliments co-sponsors the Pocono Arts Council and the Pocono Chapter of the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen for their efforts in bringing this culmination of noteworthy professionals behind such talented creations together for the two day affair. She notes how the Valley’s farmscape adds to the equation enhancing the event atmosphere of “beautiful fine art and crafts.”

Also adding to the days’ entertainment is a French and Indian War Encampment of the New Jersey Frontier Guard with a portrayal of life in the Royal Province of New Jersey during the monumental conflict spanning 1756 to 1763. The festival runs from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Saturday returning 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Sunday. Admission is $6 with children 12 and under FREE. There’s also FREE parking.

The Pocono Mountains is an area bursting with fascinating facts! From historical and environmental, to wildlife and much more that noteworthy area organizations are eager to share.
T
his Week’s Fun Fact comes from Rick Bodenschatz with the Historical Association of Tobyhanna Township.
Did you know... Poor maps of the new world led to King Charles II granting the same land that became the domain of both Pennsylvania and Connecticut. Fighting blossomed to war in 1769 between settlers from Connecticut and Pennsylvanians who already laid claim to the lands. Interrupted by the Revolutionary War then resumed in 1784, combating finally ceased 10 years later after both sides accepted the decision of the Continental Congress. This was known as the Yankee-Pennamite War.

Boulder d l o h e B F ie ld ! B
oulder Field, located in Hickory Run State Park, is a National Natural Landmark and a true scenic wonder. The vast “field” of stone is a fossil and a relict, its contents left behind after the last ice advance. Hickory Run’s Boulder Field is a potpourri of loosely-packed boulders which range in size from a few inches to 25’ in length. The surprisingly flat field measures 400’ wide, 1,800’ long and about 10’ deep. The boulders are predominantly red sandstone, and
trend from angular shapes in the east side of the field to more rounded shapes in the west. About 15,000 years ago, such rocky terrain was common throughout the Northeast, but gradual weathering and climate change have led to the coverage or elimination of many boulder fields. Only in special places, such as Hickory Run State Park, do these astounding formations remain.
Hickory Run State Park is located in Carbon County at the foothills of the Pocono
38 This Week in the Poconos
Mountains. Boulder Field is easily accessible via Boulder Field Road, or the scenic 3.5-mile Boulder Field hiking trail.
To learn more about this unique natural wonder, call the Hickory Run State Park Office at (570) 4430400 or check out www. visitpaparks.com. For trail maps and information on hiking in Pennsylvania, head to www. dcnr.state.pa.us/stateparks/ recreation/hiking/where/ index.htm.
