It was founded in 1908 by Dr. Isaiah Fawkes Everhart, a local medical doctor and skilled taxidermist. Many of the specimens in the museum's extensive ornithological collection came from Dr. Everhart's personal collection.See Everhart Museum and all Scranton has to offer by arranging your trip with our Scranton online day trip planner.
