About Scranton

A town with an industrial past, Scranton derived its wealth and incredible growth from anthracite coal mining, along with iron and steel manufacturing. Named for founding father, George Scranton, the city was once known as the "Anthracite Capital of the World." Today, visitors can get a glimpse of its hard-working past at the Lackawanna Coal Mine, where coal cars transport visitors 300 feet into mines that once bustled with miners, mules, and coal carts. Steamtown National Historic site focuses on the city's railroad heritage, proudly displaying life-sized and model steam engines. On the tour, you can also view abandoned blast furnaces that dominate Scranton's downtown area. For sightseeing that's historical but not industrial, check out the Houdini Museum or the Electric City Trolley Museum. Thanks to the wealth of mining, iron, and steel industries, Scranton boasts fascinating architecture too, including the Art Deco Scranton Cultural Center. The general area boasts a moderate climate, perfect for warm-weather hiking and wintertime skiing. At McDade Park, Archbald Pothole State Park, and Lackawanna State Park, folks can also get a taste of the region's natural beauty. Dining options are both casual and upscale, but be sure to visit Carmen's at the Lackawanna Station Hotel, the beautifully refurbished former Lackawanna Railroad Station.

Did you know?

Bituminous (or "soft") coal is a widespread variety found abundantly in western Pennsylvania. Anthracite (or "hard") coal is much rarer, and northeastern Pennsylvania is one of the few places it's found. The shiny material, formed from rotting plant material subjected to intense heat and pressure, burns cleaner and hotter than its cousin and is, subsequently, a preferable fuel. Blasting it from the earth is the most familiar way of acquiring anthracite.
