Students of Dunmore Elementary Center’s first summer camp got to Explore the History of NEPA over a two-week period.

These students learned about Pennsylvania history and facts, engaged in a scavenger hunt of monuments and architecture of Scranton’s Courthouse Square, visited the Steamtown National Historic Site, explored the Electric City Trolley Museum with an excursion to PNC Field, traveled down 300 feet below ground to the Lackawanna Coal Mine Tour, toured the Everhart Museum, bowled at South Side Lanes, and ate ice cream at Manning’s Farm in Dalton.

This camp was in partnership with a grant from the Lackawanna Heritage Valley Association. Students entering 4th-6th grades were able to apply to the camp. This is the fourth year Dunmore Elementary Center was able to host this program.

The Electric City Trolley Museum is once again taking a page out of the area’s rich railroad history by offering excursion runs to PNC Field this spring and summer for Scranton/Wilkes Barre RailRiders ballgames.  Select games through August,will offer fans an opportunity to “take the trolley” to the park at a very reasonable rate. This hassle-free service will also provide the riders with a picturesque snapshot of our community’s natural beauty.

The price of the excursion is $20 per person and includes the trolley fare, game ticket and a $2 voucher for either the concession stand or team store.  If you have game tickets and just want to ride the trolley, the cost is $11. Reservations for both packages are required.

Game dates are: June 10; July 1, 15 & 29; and Aug. 5 & 19.  “First pitch” is at 1:05 p.m. The “Sunday Baseball Special” departs the Trolley Museum at 12:15 p.m. For more information and/or to make reservations, please contact the Museum at 570-963-6590.
