| One hundred years ago, one of these four views may have been how you entered Schuylkill Haven. Clockwise from the upper left image is: the trolley entering town from Pottsville to the north , Center Avenue how it would have appeared entering the town in a horse and wagon, the Pennsylvania Railroad station on Haven Street and the Reading Railroad station on Main Street. |
| Note: Click on each picture here and on many throughout the site and you will have a larger view. Clicking on it again to zoom in, may increase clarity and expose greater detail in the picture. |
| The website consists of eighteen different pages at the present time, each offering information within a distinct topic. Each page is in a different stage of progress and will be updated with new information and images at varying paces. Navigation on the site is done simply by clicking on any blue banner. |
