Employees are aware the cache exists but are unaware of it's exact
location. Watch for muggles. You can take the box to a quite place
on this lot and replace after signing The Lackawanna Historical
Society was founded in 1886 to preserve the history of Lackawanna
County for the benefit of future generations. It is one of the
oldest cultural institution in the county. To this end, the
Society's mission is to collect, preserve, and interpret the
artifacts, archives and bibliographic materials of the social,
cultural and economic history of Lackawanna County and Northeastern
Pennsylvania. To further its mission, the Society's specific
responsibilities include the following: fostering the knowledge and
appreciation of the history and culture of Lackawanna County and
associated areas through educational programs, public accessibility
to library materials and artifact/archive collections, and
alliances with like-minded organizations, and to encourage an
appreciation of the wider history and culture of the United States
by relating the regional experience to that of the nation through
programs and activities. Through the support of its members and
such organizations as the PHMC and the Lackawanna County, the
Society has accomplished this goal through collecting significant
published works, manuscripts, maps and atlases, documents, and
artifacts capturing the area's rich and historical resources. Since
1942, the Society has operated from its present location, the
Catlin House, built in 1912, in the city of Scranton. Once the
sixteen-room residence of George H. Catlin, an early financier in
the city, and his wife Helen, the home now serves as the
organization's headquarters - accommodating exhibits, lectures, and
research activities. Volunteers will give tours of the building
during hours listed on the web page at your request. Tours and some
other services are free of charge. **Please do not knock on the door, a board meeting was
interrupted by someone who was unable to find this cache. If this
continues to happen I will be forced to archive the cache.
