Pike County Historical Society Celebrates 95 Years and Announces Annual Banquet
Join us on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, at The Promised Land Inn in Greentown for a celebration of milestones and a program highlighting the work of the Civilian Conservation Corps in PA.
Promised Land State Park was established in 1905 and hosted three CCC camps between 1933 and 1941. The CCC is credited with substantially improving the layout and safety of the park, planting thousands of trees and developing many of the recreational facilities present today. The project, Pocono Camp S-139, saw the building of roads, the Promised Land Lake dam, the Bear Wallow cabins, the CCC Pavilion and more. As a special bonus for our banquet guests, the Masker Museum, located on Pickerel Point Road in the Park, will be open for your consideration from 3:00pm to 4:30pm the day of the banquet and our guest speaker, Joshua Heath, will happily host your visit to the museum where you can learn about the history and natural environment of Promised Land State Park. This small but informative museum features exhibits on the park's wildlife, geology, and cultural history.
The banquet will commence at 5pm with a cash bar cocktail hour and complimentary cheese and crackers and such, followed by dinner at 6pm. The Promised Land Inn is the perfect venue for our gathering and we are certain you will enjoy your evening. There will be historical items including books, prints, and art offered for raffle and of course the obligatory basket of cheer and lottery tree as well!
2025 also marks the 25th anniversary of our Museum Director! So, we will be celebrating Lori's accomplishments as well.
