MEMORY LANE ROOM
September 2016
The Frackville Museum's Memory Lane Room opened in September 2016. It contains a Photo Shop with vintage cameras and local residents' pictures; the Ladies Emporium with vintage dresses, jewelry, and handbags; a Toy Shop with many classic toys; "Christmas All Year 'Round;" Vintage Treasures with hats, purses, gloves, and shoes; and a typical School Room made up of items from several schools, including a 1925 picture of George Washington and a teacher's desk from the 1930's. The school piano holds a photo of Miss Helen Everett, a local piano teacher, whose generous donation helped make the Memory Lane Room a reality.
Frackville's Museum offers residents and history lovers an opportunity to explore the town's past. The Museum Research Room is located in Room 122, the Sentimental Journey Room in Room 103, and The Memory Lane Room in Room 102 of the former Washington High School building, now the Borough Complex. The museum is opened once a month (April-December), usually on the second Sunday, from 1-4 p.m. However, out-of-town visitors can make an appointment by contacting either Kathy Kraft (570-874-3531).
NOTE: Please think of the Museum when planning your high school reunion. The Frackville Museum is a non-profit volunteer-run organization operating solely on donations. Some reunion groups, as well as some individuals, have made donations from their class or in memory of loved ones. Monetary donations can be sent to The Frackville Museum, Borough Complex, 42 S. Center St., Frackville PA 17931.
