THE NANTICOKE HISTORICAL SOCIETY relies heavily on public records, newspapers and official documents, but they can only tell a fraction of the story of the city. The Society welcomes input from families and anyone who can add their personal memories to the growing knowledge of our past. We’re not looking for skeletons (although they certainly would be welcome), just great stories and genealogical information to fill out the empty spaces between the lines of the social columns that sadly no longer exist in our local publications.
