Nesquehoning

Historical Society

The Nesquehoning Historical Society has announced the second event in a series of local history presentations as part of the town’s America250 Celebration.

The presentation, “The Lost Village of Lausanne,” takes place at 6 p.m. on April 27 and 1 p.m. on May 2. Doors open an hour before the presentation.

Historian Vince Hydro’s presentation will talk about the area before the founding of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company and the construction of the Lehigh Navigation, when the Village of Lausanne was settled at the mouth of the Nesquehoning Creek. The village was the origination point of the earliest ark shipments down the Lehigh River and was originally intended by the LC&N to be the site of company headquarters.

Hydro’s presentation will also include a short history of the Lehigh and Susquehanna Turnpike, as well as Lausanne’s famous Landing Tavern.

Following his presentation, Hydro will be signing copies of his book: “Outpost on the Lehigh River: The Lost Village of Lausanne,” as well as copies of his other self-published books.

The event will take place at the society’s museum, 157 W. Railroad St., and is open to the public free of charge, although donations to the historical society are always welcome.
