With Phase 1, the exterior, nearly completed, the public is invited to visit this historic structure and help launch Phase 2 — the volunteer effort to complete interior restora- tion. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Noxen was a bustling community — a center for ice, tanning and timber products that helped this region prosper. Through the old Noxen station, thousands of tons of material, workers and their families were transported to the cities of Wilkes Barre and Scranton, and throughout the region. Closed around 1960, the sta- tion slowly deteriorated, as no funds were available to main- tain it. It was donated to NBLT ONGOING COMMUNITY EVENING PUBLIC SWIM, Wednesdays and Fridays, 6:30-8:30 p.m.; Sundays 2-5 p.m. Dallas Middle School pool is open to the public for lap and recreational swim- ming.
