About the Event
The Tioga County Woodland Owners, in conjunction with the DCNR, invites the public to participate in the 6th annual Walk in Penn’s Woods: Exploring Landrus, Tioga County’s Coal Ghost Town.
Explorers will meet Sunday, October 2nd from 1-3pm to hear the story of the World’s First Electric Coal Mine— the Bear Run Mine— that operated from 1888-1914 and put Tioga County on the map.
The town of Landrus itself only existed for 36 years before being forgotten to all except the land and a handful of history enthusiasts who appreciate the story of Landrus’s residents. BRING YOUR STORIES!
The trail will highlight 10 relics of Landrus’ past, interpreted by local Landrus enthusiasts and guided by the map originally published in Curt Lytle’s book, “Landrus, PA: Pennsylvania Ghost Town and Electric Coal Mine”
Details! There is no registration necessary. The monument to meet at is on Landrus Road east of Morris…
