Ancient Treasure!

This canoe above is on display in Harrisburg, at the state museum, where it is noted that it was found in Mud Pond, Luzerne County, and carbon dated to 1250AD.  Mud Pond is north through the woods above North Avenue. A small piece of our community's history, encased in glass for all to see, recognizing the Native Americans that inhabited the area many years ago.
