Americana Antiques & Gifts, a
new antique and gift shop with
an Early American ‘flavor’
owned by Philip and Betsy Pack
of Shavertown opened for busi-
ness recently. The Packs with
their son, Philip III, and daugh-
ter, Amy, came to the area
from Yonkers, N.Y., where
Philip was a science teacher in
the high school.
He resigned his position as a
teacher when he and Betsy
decided they wanted to raise
their children in a quiet, subur-
ban community.
Since Philip’s wife, the former
Betsy Bresler, was a native of
Kingston where her late parents
had operated an antique shop
for more than 20 years, the
Packs decided to return to the
Wyoming Valley area. Philip
was familiar with the Back
Mountain because when he was
younger he used to spend his
summers at Harveys Lake and
Lake Silkworth. His father now
resides in Nanticoke and his
sister also lives in the area.
After moving back to the
area, the Packs decided to open
a business and when they dis-
covered the Dallas location that
was where they wanted to
locate.
