HONESDALE, PA — Following a two-month search, the Wayne County Historical Society (WCHS) Board of Directors has tapped former trustee Carol Henry Dunn for the position of executive director effective October 1. A resident of Beach Lake, and raised in a boarding house, Dunn’s Wayne County roots and passion for its history run deep.

An educator by formal training, in 2013 she retired from the Wallenpaupack Area School District where she taught high school chemistry. She holds an M.S. in chemistry from the University of Scranton and a B.A. in biology from the University of Pennsylvania. Dunn had served on the WCHS Board beginning in 1998, and had just begun her first term as board president in April of this year.
