Lake Wallenpaupack: A 10,000 Year Perspective

Registration ends Friday, 09/25/2026 11:59pm EDT

About This Event

In celebration of Lake Wallenpaupack’s 100th Anniversary and Lacawac Sanctuary’s 60th Anniversary, D.J. Roberts and Bernadine Lennon will present an informative program on the prehistory of the Wallenpaupack Valley and the events and people leading to the creation of Lake Wallenpaupack. D.J. Roberts is a local historian and presenter recognized for expertise on the construction and history of Lake Wallenpaupack often sharing little-known facts about the project. His work helps preserve the heritage of the Lake Wallenpaupack region and its evolution from a hydroelectric project into a major economic force to both Wayne and Pike counties. Bernadine Lennon is Director Emerita and Program Chair for the Greene-Dreher Historical Society. Her research has focused on the history of the individuals and their experiences that have created the rich tapestry of the Wallenpaupack Valley.

Rescheduling and Cancellation Policy:

  • Lacawac reserves the right to reschedule, postpone, or cancel a program due to low registration (fewer than 10 attendees), weather conditions, or other circumstances beyond our control. Participants will be notified by email as soon as possible if changes are necessary.
  • If Lacawac cancels a paid program, participants will receive a full refund of their registration fee. If Lacawac reschedules or postpones a paid program, tickets will automatically be honored for the new date. If a ticket holder cannot attend the rescheduled date, they may choose to donate their registration fee to support Lacawac’s nonprofit mission, or receive a credit toward a future Lacawac program.
  • As a nonprofit organization, Lacawac incurs credit card processing fees for both registrations and refunds, which reduces funds available for programs. Thank you for understanding and for supporting our mission.
  • No action is needed if you are able to attend on the new date. We encourage participants to check their email and Lacawac’s website and social media channels for updates, especially as weather conditions may impact programs.
