It consists of three floors and a basement, all presently in use. It was purchased by the Pike County Historical Society in 1983. The building is in immaculate condition with beautiful pictures and photos on the wall. The rooms are large and spacious, comfortable appearing. Thousands of volumes of reference books are here, biographies geographies, military books, an endless supply of old magazines.
Newspapers abound recorded on tape.
On my recent visits, there were always several people there to help me locate information in the building or to tell me where else such information could be found. Several rooms are lined with historical and genealogical exhibits. For example, exhibits relating to the county's Civil War activities are on display. And coming up soon, an exhibit on the 1864 wreck of the Civil War prisoner train in nearby Shohola in which many Confederate prisoners were killed. Make a point of visiting this very special place in eastern Pennsylvania on our Delaware River.
