In a civic gesture by Dr J F Everhardt, Scranton will soon unveil a dedicated building to house his extensive natural history collection. The project, funded by Everhardt and the Everhart family legacy, aims to display more than 2,000 birds along with a wide array of mammals, nests, and wooden artifacts. The collection, amassed over forty years, includes flora and fauna from across the state, and the gift may include future expansion for a museum and related holdings. The estimated building cost sits around forty to fifty thousand dollars.
