About Everhart Museum

The Everhart is a nonprofit museum of natural history, science, and art housed in a historic three-story building in Scranton's Nay Aug Park. It was founded in 1908 by Dr. Isaiah Fawkes Everhart, a local physician and taxidermist, and many of its ornithological specimens came from his own collection. Visitors can explore the permanent collections and rotating special exhibitions, including an exhibit on Scranton's connection to the television series The Office.
