A New Website Feature!

We are now making the slideshows prepared from Club activities (Shoot Outs, Themes of the Month and Contests) available online for viewing and reviewing at your convenience. Our monthly member meetings have become so crowded with Club News, activities, contests, Photographers of the Month Presentations and guest speakers that we have had to postpone showing some of our activity picture compilations. While we still plan to show our activity slideshows during our meetings, this new online/on demand viewing opportunity will increase your opportunities to relive and enjoy our Club members' creative capabilities.

To tap into this new source for enjoyment and learning, just click on the "Club Activities" menu item and select "PPC Event Picture Slideshows". While we are starting out with our most recent (and enjoyable) events, we will post older slideshows as time permits. Please check this area monthly to see what you, and your Club have been accomplishing. The slideshows are all in video streaming format and set to music. Our thanks to Sam Prynda for his tireless and creative efforts in creating these beautiful photo compilations.

Station Description and Details

The Barrett Township Historical Society maintains the Cresco Station Museum and the Library Research Center buildings providing many displays and exhibits that not only help preserve these items of the history of the area, but also tell the stories of the communities past.

History: Cresco Station was built by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western (DL&W) Railroad in the 1870s, reaching its peak in the 1940s. Today, the Museum and Library offer a host of vintage antiques and displays.

The Library and Research Center is a one-story Art Deco style structure opposite the Cresco Station Museum. The building was built in 1928 and originally served as a Post Office. Later, the building found use as a soda fountain, a popular stop for incoming and outgoing passengers on the DL&W Railroad.

Today, the Historical Society houses the Barrett Township archives from 1859 to present and maintains a rotating exhibit of artifacts.

Amenities: The Station and Museum includes tables and chairs, tents, and restrooms. The Library Research Center is air-conditioned, has a bathroom, kitchen, Wifi access, computer, copier, parking and a slate covered courtyard for outdoor venues. On days of excursions, there will be a display of antique cars (weather permitting) and entertainment. The Barrett Township Historical Society will also be selling hot dogs, chips, drinks, and ice cream.
