Zane Grey Museum - Pennsylvania

Post by Tom R »

Finally posting photos of my visit to the Zane Grey Museum on the Delaware River in Pennsylvania. At the confluence of the Lackawaxen & Delaware Rivers. Worth a visit if you are in the area. Zane and his wife are buried in the cemetery next door.

It's certainly worth a visit. I spent a nice day there about a century ago and donated a copy of a Scientific American issue containing a Grey article.

Just read Zane’s home in Altadena was destroyed by the California wildfires. One of the many tragic losses the residents of California are experiencing.

Will have to combine a visit with some fishing on the Lackawaxen and Delaware.
