A Traveling Exhibition
A traveling exhibit devoted to a canal system that once moved anthracite coal to major markets and helped fuel the American Industrial Revolution is on display at the Shickshinny Historical Museum. Informative exhibits on the state's canals and early shipping pioneers who launched an economic boom for Shickshinny and the entire Wyoming Valley in the 19th century .
The museum was so highly regarded by the Lehigh Valley organizers of the traveling canal exhibit that it was one of only five stops on its American 250 Tour.
