DELHI — Join the Delaware County Historical Association for a daytrip to the historic Lackawanna Coal Mine and Electric City Trolley Museum in Scranton, PA. Enjoy a guided underground tour of the mine and then continue with a visit to the trolley museum and an antique trolley ride

Come with us on Thursday September 24 as we travel on a motor coach to these wonderful historic locations.

The Lackawanna Coal Mine is located in McDade Park near downtown Scranton. Snap on your hardhat and board the mine car to descend 300 feet into restored “Old Slope # 190.” Accompany a miner in the winding underground gangways and rock tunnel past three different veins of hard anthracite coal, past the mule boy and the nipper, past the monkey vein and the dead chute. Listen as he explains the fascinating methods used, and the heroic efforts involved, in deep mining’s history.

After the mine tour we will make the short trip across Scranton to the Electric City Trolley Museum where you can enjoy a lunch on your own (bring a bag lunch or snack) in a restored late-19th century mill building. We will have time to explore the museum before boarding an authentic antique trolley for a 5 ½ mile trip over Roaring Brook & through a mile-long tunnel. The day will end with dinner at Bingham’s Restaurant in Lenox, PA.

The cost of this day trip is only $130 for DCHA members and $150 for non-members, a portion of which is used to raise funds for our county’s museum. Price includes all admissions, trolley ride, transportation and dinner at Bingham’s Restaurant.

Passengers may board the motor coach in Oneonta and depart at 7:00 am and in Delhi at 7:30 am. We estimate our return time to be approximately 8:00 pm in Delhi and 8:30 pm in Oneonta.
