The Philadelphia & Reading Railroad Station is one of a long list of surviving historic structures in the City of Lebanon.

The Colonial Theater was built in 1923 and was located at the northwest corner of 9th and Cumberland streets. 100 years later, its elegance has not been equaled locally. 

With the coming of 2023, the Cornwall Iron Furnace intends to celebrate the anniversary of the closure of the mine by recognizing Cornwall’s “greatest generation,” those few miners and iron workers who remain among us.

Lebanon has had a long history of family restaurants and diners.

Alden Villa, also known as Millwood, is a historic Gilded Age three-story mansion spanning 11,223 square feet located in Cornwall (its official address is 1012 Alden Way, Lebanon, PA).

During the mid-1900s, it seemed there was a neighborhood bar on nearly every corner in Lebanon.
