Can you help?
The Wanatah Historical Society is seeking these items for its collection:
- Picture of the Coal Dock
- "Cock of the Walk" flour sack
- Information and photos about the Hobo Camp in Wanatah
- Any old pictures tucked away in your attic, shoebox or album for loan or donation
Thank You!
The Wanatah Historical Society would like to thank Mike Crosby of Beach Grove, IN for his donation of the Wanatah Coal Dock model to the Society. It was awarded Best of Show in 2005 when entered in the model contest of the Pennsylvania Railroad Technical and Historical Society in Harrisburg, PA. It was on display at the Horizon Bank and most recently at the Wanatah Scarecrow Festival. Thank you!!
Memorial Bricks
Orders for memorial bricks are now being taken for installation in the museum courtyard. Bricks are $60.00 each. They may be inscribed with either the donor's name or in memory of someone.
