PA Duryea 1927 Polish Falcon's Girl's Club Convention at Shukwit Park
The Polish Falcons Girl's Club had a convention at Shukwit Park and Pavilion (also known as Marcy Park) in 1927. Shukwit Park was located by the Lackawanna River behind the homes that were in the 800 block of Main Street of Duryea, PA above the old Town Hall. The park and pavilion were the venues for numerous dances, picnics, parties, social gatherings, and carnivals up to the 1940s. A set of very steep stairs led from Main Street to the park area which was also accessible from the area along the river. In the background is the dike which was located on the Kehoe Berge side of the river. This link includes individual pictures and the names of the the girls and advisors who were in attendance at that event. The people in the picture were identified by Helen Orlowski Majewski who is in the first row on the left.
