Pure Luxury

“Call me spoiled - but I love to be treated like a queen when traveling. Only the best is good enough for me. Hotels that make my vacation a dream of luxury and seduction are my choices. Pay attention to the (violet Medal) for luxury accommodation.”

Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Markus Lenk, Düsseldorf, Germany

If you are considering Nanticoke, Pennsylvania, as a destination, you can focus on several themes: the city’s cultural heritage, regional art, guided tours at Luzerne County Community College, and access to Canal Park and the Susquehanna Warrior Trail. The attractions differ in their focus and visitor requirements. This lets you weigh whether history, art, a campus visit requiring registration, or hiking and biking are especially important to your stay.

City History and the Historical Society

The Nanticoke Historical Society is located at 495 East Main Street, Nanticoke, Pennsylvania. It preserves and shares the city’s cultural heritage through research resources and the quarterly publication Nanticoke Legacy. The society was founded in 1995, when several of the city’s historic sites were demolished. The contrast between this loss and today’s work on cultural heritage gives the city’s history a tangible perspective. If you plan to drive to the address, check appointment and opening arrangements in advance.

Regional Art at the Schulman Gallery

The Schulman Gallery is on the second floor of the LCCC Campus Center, Building 14, on the main campus of Luzerne County Community College in Nanticoke. It presents work by regional artists and hosts community and juried art exhibitions. Juried exhibitions are selected by a jury; they are part of the program alongside community exhibitions. The Historical Society and the gallery offer different cultural perspectives: research and interpretation of the city’s heritage at the former, regional art and exhibitions at the latter. Individual exhibitions may change, so check current opening hours before visiting.

Guided Tours at the College

Luzerne County Community College offers guided tours of its main campus in Nanticoke. Additional tours are available at the Carrozza Health Sciences Center and the Joseph A. Paglianite Culinary Arts Institute. The tours of these two facilities each last about an hour, offering a similar time commitment; the Culinary Arts Institute tour includes teaching kitchens and classrooms. Registration is required for all three options.

Canal Park, Susquehanna Warrior Trail, and Getting There

Nanticoke offers good access to Canal Park and the Susquehanna Warrior Trail. The trail is suitable for hiking and biking. It is therefore the specific point of reference for hiking and biking; Canal Park is another destination that Nanticoke provides good access to. If you are planning a trip on the trail, check current route information and trail conditions, as the route length and conditions may change.

The Nanticoke/West Nanticoke Bridge over the Susquehanna River is currently closed. As its status may change, check again before traveling if your planned route involves crossing the bridge.
