The Nanticoke Historical Society was formed in 1995 as a number of historical sites in the city were being razed. Notably among those were the Kosciuszko Junior High School and the State Theatre.

This group then began a quest to obtain and preserve any and all items which served as a link to Nanticoke's history.
