The Frackville Area Historical Society is planning a town-wide church tour for Sunday, November 2nd. All of the churches in the borough have been sent letters asking for their participation. If you belong to a religious group that their letter may have been ‘lost in the mail process’ - please contact Lois Zemansky, the chairman of this project at 570-874-1009. The FAHS seeks to include ALL the churches of the community. Should you have any questions, comments or suggestions for this event - or for something in the future, please don’t hesitate to contact me at 570-874-1579 or 570-294-2787 (cell) Diane M. Berkheiser.

The regular meeting of the Frackville area Historical Society will take place on Thursday, August 28th at the society headquarters - 30 East oak St. Frackville at 6:30 P.M. A video of the new ‘town clock’ at the corner of Center & Oak Street will be shown. The video was a gift to the group by Mr. Mike Martin on behalf of the Cruise Committee who worked very hard for the clock’s purchase & placement. Other agenda items will include discussion on the purchase of Lorraine Stanton’s vast collection of the town and the church tour planned for November 2nd. New members and guests are always welcomed and encourged to come. Local items are collected to add to the historical data on the Frackville Area and are gratefully accepted. Please come join with us for a ‘historical’ evening….any questions, suggestions , please call 874-1579.

The Frackville Area Historical Society had their regularly scheduled meeting July 31. We meet the last Thursday of the month. A Show and Tell was held by the members. Some interesting items were displayed.

The public is welcome to all meetings. Please think about coming to a meeting and we would be delighted to see any Frackville items you might have.

We had a great time at the meeting last night and have several wonderful updates for the website.  Many members signed up to this blog and are now setup to post articles about the Frackville area.

I look forward to reading the upcoming contributions from all of the knowledgeable members!

Members of the Frackville Historical Society will be posting here frequently to keep you updated with meeting news and general events going on around the Frackville area.
