Located
at the edge of the Pocono Mountains and the heart of Northeastern Pennsylvania,
Luzerne County and the Greater Wilkes-Barre, Hazleton and Pittston areas are
rich in scenic vistas and year-round outdoor recreation. Mountains, streams, and
lakes easily accessible to NYC (2.5 hrs), and Philadelphia (2 hrs) by
Interstates 80, 81, and the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
Resorts abound in this area.
The service industry is enjoying a robust economy. A full range of outdoor
enjoyment and cultural presentations are available year-round. Entertainment
ranges from the Northeastern
PA Philharmonic or Northeastern
Pennsylvania Choral Society, concerts, golfing, live harness racing at Pocono
Downs, tours of the historic The
Lion Brewery Inc. (established in 1905, it survived Prohibition and has been
in continuous operation), and tours of real coal mines and trips on steam engine
trains. The Luzerne
County Convention and Visitors Bureau lists pages of things to do in this
area.
The
Luzerne County Historical Society boasts a research library, museum, and an
historical homestead setting. Luzerne County is also the home of the Wyoming
Historical and Geological Society.
Luzerne County's population in 2000
was 319,250. In the heart of Pennsylvania's coal country, Luzerne County was
devastated by the problems faced in that industry. Construction of the
interstates, including I-309, has been a catalyst for growth and a new economic
direction. Butler Township and Hazleton, in particular, have been transformed
from rural, farm-based economies to commuting suburbs, and tourism has doubled
with the now easy access.
