Northern Lehigh Historical Society

The Northern Lehigh Historical Society would like to acknowledge the fine effort by Eagle Scout candidate Dylan Schlichting of Walnutport in completing the painting of the pavilion next to the Trout Run Covered Bridge in Slatington.

Dylan, a member of Troop 43, took on the job for his Eagle Scout project. He organized the project, recruited volunteers, estimated the materials needed and presented the plan to local civic organizations in order to secure funds.

The historical society would like to thank all the volunteers who helped with the project; and the Mickley/Fravel Charitable Trust, Rotary Club of Slatington, Slatington Lodge 440 F&AM and A.F. Boyer Hardware for their monetary donations.

Also, to Pete Papay and Dale Benninger of the Slatington Lions Club for their guidance during the project.
