Images of Nanticoke’s bustling Main and Market streets circa 1922, showing horse-drawn wagons competing with autos, are among the growing archives of the Nanticoke Historical Society.
Their motto is, “If it’s historical information, we want it.”
The society will offer a photo tour of the city on Feb. 19 in the town council meeting room at Nanticoke’s municipal building. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the tour begins at 7.
Tour attendees can ask to see photos of specific events or geographic locations.
Zaremba said he hopes that people fill council chambers. A previous photo tour held at the St. Faustina Cultural Center, in the former St. Stanislaus Church, drew a large crowd, he said. Photos are projected onto a 4 feet by 8 feet screen.
Zaremba and John Sherrick, both of Nanticoke, oversee the society’s massive collection of historical records, photos and artifacts. The society rents the Samantha Mills House, a white frame building to the rear of the Mill Memorial Library on Kosciuszko Street, Nanticoke.
Sherrick is the society archivist and he has dedicated years to cataloging the city’s history. He has photographed every tombstone in every cemetery, every building on every street and additional shots and angles of anything that might be of historical value to anyone.
