Towanda museum needs volunteers to help complete renovations

The Towanda Area Historical Museum is racing against the clock to get the museum up and running in time for the town’s 150th anniversary next year.

Tricia Lee shares her vision for the new look of the Towanda Area Historical Museum once the museum board finishes renovating the 115 year old building.
