Tasseography is an ancient divination practice of interpreting patterns formed by tea leaves in a cup. What do the shapes in your teacup tell you? Learn the meaning of the symbols you may see in your cup. A brief history of tasseography will be presented. The Tasseographer will guide you in preparing your cup of tea and lead participants to interpret the shapes within the teacup in a group setting. You will then read your own leaves as well as those in another's cup. Dr. Gronkowski follows in the footsteps of her Slavic ancestors by combining tasseography with intuitive impressions, making the method of reading more divination than an inherent psychic reading. Space is limited, Get your tickets early! Tickets available at the Samantha Mill House Office or click below

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. A few life long residents of the city realized that if certain parts of Nanticoke's history weren't preserved they would be lost forever. This group then began a quest to obtain and preserve any and all items which served as a link to Nanticoke's history.
