WEST PITTSTON — The West Pittston Historical Society helps preserve and showcase the Garden Village’s history and the organization is asking for West Pittston residents both far and near to help.

The society will sponsor its inaugural West Pittston History Day on Sunday, June 23, from 1 to 5 p.m. at the West Pittston Library on Exeter Ave.

Residents are asked to bring old photos, slides, report cards and memorabilia they think will contribute to continuing the legacy of West Pittston’s history. Scanners will be available on site and all photos and items will be returned that day. There is a lot of history in West Pittston buried in people’s homes, so clean out your closets, basements and attics and come and preserve these treasures for future generations.

Items from the society’s collection will also be on display.
