HONESDALE, PA — The Wayne County Historical Society will unveil three new exhibits at its museum on Main Street in April 2015. A sneak preview will take place on Thursday, April 16 immediately after the 7 p.m. board of trustees’ meeting. Members are invited to attend the trustees’ meeting and the exhibit preview. On Saturday, April 18 the museum will host its annual Spring Open House from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

One new exhibit is “Vietnam—Looking Back 50 Years.” In 1965, Honesdale native Stan Pratt, then a U.S. Army PFC, was assigned as a photographer with the 593rd Combat Signal Photo Company in Vietnam. He photographed battlefield activity, troop movements, high ranking officers and everyday life for the next year. These photos are featured along with camera equipment Stan used and other items from his time in Vietnam in the museum exhibit.

“Wayne County Unfurled” features a large selection of these flags that have been donated to the museum over the years, with information about how WCHS acquired each flag and also provides the visitor with some American flag history.

The “Life of the Lenape” exhibit includes a small-scale Lenape longhouse and its contents. This interactive exhibit allows children to experience hands-on what life was like for a Lenape family. It joins “Grandma’s Attic” and “Homestead Farm” in the children’s area.
