There is something so compelling about live theater. We’ve known this as far back as the ancient Greeks. Throughout the ages, man has been performing on stages for the delight of audiences in nearly all eras and civilizations. For the audiences, it’s a chance to peer into the lives of others, to [...]
The Luzerne County Historical Society is offering some cultivated ways to enjoy the theme of the season with a bit of education and local yore. Anyone can go to the dozens of “haunted house” and “horror hall” tours that have popped up everywhere. One can only see so much blood and gore. So if you [...]
This structure in Forty Fort has been standing for 200 years. In all my years living here, I must have passed it thousands of times. I even lived in Forty Fort for a while. As much as it embarrasses me to admit this: I never thought to check its hours or find out anything about [...]
