ATTENTION PLEASE:

We have decided to move the Swetland Open House Event one day, to Saturday, June 27th in order not to conflict with Jenkins Cemetery's First to Fall Event.

The Open House will still be from 1pm-4pm, and will still only cost $5 for adults, $3 for kids (with LCHS Members free!) but it is merely one day earlier, so everyone can see both the house, and the great America 250 event at the cemetery the next day.

To make reservations for the Open House, call 570-823-6244 x3, or email [email protected].

Special thanks to the Masonic Villages at Dallas for sponsoring our 168th Annual Dinner on Tuesday June 16th. Tucked into the Back Mountain of Northeastern Pennsylvania, the Masonic Village at Dallas offers retirement living that is quiet, yet vibrant and engaged. Walking trails and picturesque views display nature’s beauty right in your back yard. Play a round of golf on property, or enjoy on-site dining.

We hope you will join us for the Annual Dinner this year. The program for the evening is Celebrating America 250 and will include Cassandra Coleman, Executive Director of America 250 PA as our keynote speaker. As well as a raffle, artistic portraits, Revolutionary War artifact display, and much more!
