Explore NEPA’s Polish heritage at the Polish Room at Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre, PA. Located on the second floor of Wilkes’s Farley library, the room is dedicated to Polish settlers who came to the Wyoming Valley during the mid-19th and 20th centuries.
The room is filled with Polish artifacts. You can find Polish made furniture, books, dolls, paintings, and Piasanki, or traditional decorated eggs. The room is designed with a stone floor, painted beams, and tapestry-covered walls. There’s even a carving of an eagle, the symbol of Poland, above the fireplace. Visit the Polish room any time during regular library operating hours.
