FOUNDER’S GALLERY
May 18–Ongoing
The Founder’s Gallery showcases the life of Museum founder Dr. Isaiah F. Everhart, tracing his life from its beginnings in rural Southeastern Pennsylvania, through his career as a surgeon in the Civil War, to his settling in Scranton and establishment of the Museum that bears his name. Dr. Everhart’s story is told in his own words taken from journal entries; through objects from the Museum’s collection, including the many taxidermy specimens he completed; and through rarely seen photos from the Museum’s archives.
