Welcome to Shamokin. One of Shamokin's oldes iconic items was the factory. This was a factory my gradma born in the early 1900's worked in. It's also the location of my grandmas home where I used to walk past this factory every day as a kid. When the factory started to deteriorate with broken windows, etc. It was scary as a kid not yet 10 to walk through but this is Shamokin and everyone knows everyone and everyone is in everyones business so all is well.
Miss this old place. Parts of the original floor structure are there so I would not recommend walking around as you could fall through in some areas to the creek below (lots of rats).
But on the good side, this was a hillside area of the factory parts and not over water. Enjoy the little trek up to this area and discover the cache under something that doesn't look like it belongs.
Cool Factory. This was the largest employer in Shamokin by far! <-- or at least that's what I tell myself.
