The project was fund- ed by Endless Mountains Heritage Re- gion’s' (EMHR), which provides grants to non-profit organizations for a variety of projects. “EMHR represents the finest example of cooperation between local organiza- tions and state agencies to bring tax dollars back into communities,” ex- plained Project Coordinator Mark Mitchell. The historical society was established over two decades ago and has been ac- tive in the local community and the re- gion. Museum exhibits paint a picture of the region’s past on the ground floor, while upstairs the genealogy library, an open stack research facility, includes a microfilm collection of census data and archives of regional historical data. The building also provides space for the Tunkhannock Chapter of the Daugh- ters of the American Revolution and Tunkhannock Post of the American Le- gion. The Society's recent renovation pro- ject fits within funding criteria for EMHR’s grant program, which awarded it $22,000 in 2001. The award was met with local matching funds raised by the Society through memberships and book sales. Renovations included roof and window repairs, restoration of a cupola, replacement of rotting win-' EMHR, a state heritage park formed in 1998, is organized around an agri- cultural theme.
