Wyoming Valley's Symbol
of Independence
Written by By Anthony T.P. Brooks
Our cultural and historic
assets are a significant part of our local heritage. Preserving our
community’s heritage fosters civic pride in the beauty and
accomplishments of the past that we all share. Promotion and
enhancement of historic buildings and sites is a necessary component
of the social and economic prosperity of the Wyoming Valley and
Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Our ancestors have long recognized the importance of cultural and
historic preservation to our community’s social vitality. As early as

named Something Special.

One: The Battle of Wyoming was
actually fought in Exeter, which tells you that as early as 1778 Exeter got
gypped out of its claim to glory. Two: Sabatini’s Play Plaza is a great
place to wear out a toddler before a much-needed nap. Happily, I discovered
this my first year in The Valley.
With this scant knowledge in hand, I pull to a stop along the Ave., at a
point I assume to be Exeter borough. Parking is free and easy. Not sure
where the business district begins or ends, I decide to start at a spot
that’s become nearly a historical landmark—Esposito’s orthopedic shoe store.
