Greater Shamokin
Situated in the heart of Pennsylvania’s famous Anthracite Region is the city of Shamokin and environs–or the Greater Shamokin Area. With coal as her heritage, Shamokin lays claim to a rich and varied history of industry and commerce, enterprising leaders and industrious workers. Preserving and celebrating this heritage is the mission of the Greater Shamokin Heritage Museum, maintained by the Northumberland County Council for the Arts and Humanities.
