History Comes to Spanky's Restaurant, Newfoundland Roz and Paul Otway, owners of Spanky's Restaurant in Newfoundland, have requested assistance
from GDHS in preparing displays of old photographs representative of
Newfoundland, Greentown, La Anna, South Sterling and Promised Land in years gone
by. The Society enthusiastically responded by loaning the Otways some
displays which had been previously prepared using old post cards and
photographs. The Otways hope to have additional pictures displayed at each
customer's table in the near future. Please stop by and see what is new at
Spanky's Restaurant. We appreciate this opportunity to work with Roz and
Paul in increasing awareness of local history to the community.
Wallenpaupack Area South Elementary (WASE) School, Newfoundland
GDHS has partnered with WASE by preparing exhibits to compliment lesson plans
given by teachers. For the 2008-2009 school year, we displayed ice harvesting tools in glass
display cabinets to which teachers referred when giving lessons on ice
harvesting. For the 2009-2010, we are featuring artifacts
dealing with food preservation and farming to support lessons on farm life given
to 3rd and 4th grade students. GDHS is also sponsoring a lesson on food
(from planting to preservation) by Quiet Valley Living Historical Farm at WASE.
