Murals and Remembrance in Dunmore

A mural in Dunmore depicts a train emerging from a tunnel near Nay Aug Falls. It is part of the Lackawanna County Mural Trail, where colorful murals can be discovered throughout Dunmore. The single train motif offers a specific starting point; the trail broadens the view to murals as a cultural theme of the town. If you would like to include public art in your travel plans, you can distinguish between an interest in this particular motif and a broader exploration of the murals.

A tank memorial on Blakely Street commemorates all wars and times of peace. The Dunmore Cemetery Tour brings the history of the Lackawanna Valley to life with costumed performers. The offerings have different focuses: the memorial centers on a broad occasion for remembrance, while the tour focuses on the valley’s history, presented by performers. When choosing between these cultural offerings, you can consider whether you would rather include a memorial site or a historical presentation with costumed performers in your travel plans. If you plan to take the Cemetery Tour, check the dates in advance.

Trails, Special Experiences, and Getting There

The Dunmore Number 1 Reservoir Trail officially opened on November 9, 2010. Parking and access to the trail are located on Dunda Drive near Five Star Equipment. Since access information can change, you should check it before your visit. While the Reservoir Trail offers a specific planning reference with its opening date and access point, the Lackawanna County Mural Trail represents the colorful murals throughout Dunmore.

The Lost Trails ATV Park includes The Tunnel as a special experience. The tunnel in the train mural is a depicted motif; The Tunnel, by contrast, is part of the ATV park. This distinguishes two different interests: murals as a cultural theme and the experience offered at the park. If you note both points in your plans, keep the full names in mind: Lackawanna County Mural Trail and Lost Trails ATV Park.

Dunmore borders Scranton. Interstate 81 and Interstates 380 and 84 are easily accessible from the Borough of Dunmore. These road connections offer guidance for getting there, while Dunmore’s location next to Scranton helps clarify your destination choice. For travel planning, Dunmore’s attractions can be broadly grouped into culture and the Reservoir Trail. Murals and memorial sites offer different focuses; Scranton’s proximity and the accessible interstates add geographic context for getting there.
