Things to Do and See | Visitors Bureau | Lodging | Dining | Weather | Wyoming CountyWelcome! Wyoming County Oops. Seems Charles II gave part of out county not only to William Penn but to Connecticut, too! It led to a series of battles called the Penamite Wars, which eventually secured the land for Pennsylvania. When you see our scenic Susquehanna River or walk our Endless Mountains, you'll know why this land was coveted. It still is. You can retrace Sullivan's March, marvel at our architecture or retreat to our quaint small towns. Or just relax by a clear mountain stream. As you travel Route 6, plan a stay in Wyoming County. Home of the Big 6.
Baseball was considered a game for rogues before Christy Mathewson came along. The Hall of Fame pitcher and the man who changed baseball's image was born in Factoryville.
Route 6 historical markers denote the march that drove raiding Iroquois Indians out of the Wyoming Valley in 1778, making it safe for settlers. Built in 1843 and enlarged in 1869 and 1992, the courthouse is an excellent example of Italianate architecture. One block from Route 6. This 62-acre pond was once home to the first county Ice Carnival. Today, it's a favorite fishing hole under Fish Commission control.
This quaint town is situated on one of the cleanest, most scenic creeks in the Endless Mountains. First chartered in 1868, today's campus covers 261 acres with 31 buildings.
State Game Lands #57 A large part of our southwestern corner, SGL 57 is a haven for deer, turkey, grouse and bear. Open for hunting, hiking, bird-watching and botanical studies. |
