UPDATE on COVID-19 from the PHMC
The Anthracite Heritage Museum and Scranton Iron Furnaces, properties of the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission (PHMC), remain closed to the public. As part of the Commonwealth’s network, the sites will reopen at the direction of the Governor’s administration.
All in-person programs and events are cancelled through the spring. Check our Facebook page and website for details of upcoming virtual programs.
The grounds can be accessed for passive and dispersed recreation. Visitors are to follow the governor’s guidelines regarding masking and social distancing, and gatherings are prohibited.
The public can access the Scranton Iron Furnaces for pedestrian recreation; however, all facilities at PHMC sites and museums will be closed—including parking lots, restrooms, and visitor centers.
Thank you for being a good steward of Pennsylvania’s historic sites and museums!
