Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania
Lackawanna sits in northeastern Pennsylvania, just north of the Poconos. Scranton, the county seat, is the biggest city. Yeah, that Scranton from “The Office”.
Once upon a time, Lackawanna County was coal country. But lately, it’s reinventing itself with a focus on education, healthcare, and the arts. The county has a rich immigrant history, reflected in its food and festivals.
The Steamtown National Historic Site is a must-visit for train buffs. Outdoorsy types love to hike in Lackawanna State Park. Finally, the Electric City Trolley Museum pays homage to the area’s transportation history.
