Regional Initiatives

Viaduct Valley Way Scenic Byway

Endless Mountains Heritage Region is partnering with our friends with Nicholson Heritage Association and Susquehanna Community Development Association to identify stakeholders, initiate a fundraising strategy and lay the groundwork for the development of a corridor management plan for the realization of the heritage tourism and economic opportunity possibilities associated with Route 92 - the Viaduct Valley Way Scenic Byway in Wyoming and Susquehanna Counties.

An initial letter to potential stakeholders and contributors is being mailed soon.  Individuals, business owners and organizations who will provide financial and/or volunteer support of the Viaduct Valley Way are encouraged to complete the pledge of support form and mail it to the Endless Mountains Heritage Region.  Those interested in making an immediate tax-deductible contribution may send a check payable to Endless Mountains Heritage Region and specifying "Byway Fund".


Susquehanna Greenway River Town Program
Volunteers Needed

Endless Mountains Heritage Region is excited about spearheading a new sign initiative associated with the Susquehanna Greenway River Town Program.  Volunteers are needed in the Endless Mountains to help us identify and describe the important heritage, cultural and recreational sites for the areas of Towanda and Tunkhannock as part of this program.  We will design and fabricate "Live, Learn, Explore" community information signs in these River Town communities to inspire visitors to spend more time in these communities by taking a walking tour of the historic downtown, visiting the county museum, enjoying the river and town parks, or appreciating the landscapes and architecture.

This program envisions the network corridor of the Susquehanna Greenway as a river corridor with linked and revitalized riverside communities along the Susquehanna River Water Trail that reap the benefits of place-based tourism and recreation as part of a larger coordinated approach to economic development. The long term economic viability of participating communities is to be achieved through concentrated business development efforts that capitalize on the placed-based tourism and recreational use market.


Contact Phil Swank at the EMHR office by calling (570) 265-1528 to volunteer with the information signs for Towanda or Tunkhannock or to learn more about this initiative.
