The Tripp House

The Society for the Preservation of the Tripp Family Homestead (SPTFH) held a celebratory Open House to mark its 25th Anniversary on Sunday.
Exactly 25 years ago to the date, the SPTFH was formed and took over ownership and maintenance of the Tripp House from the Junior League of Scranton. The Tripp House remains the headquarters for the Junior League and is a beautifully stunning event space available for rental. The Tripp House is the oldest homestead in Lackawanna County, and was saved and restored by the Junior League.
About 35 community members and supporters gathered to see the Tripp House, enjoy each other's company, and listen to carols sung by the Choir of Mary Mother of God Parish at Holy Rosary.
The SPTFH Board wishes to thank the Choir members, directed by Kimberly Gnall, for donating their Sunday afternoon.

Board Members and Committee Chairs of the Junior League of Scranton met recently at the The Tripp House to discuss plans and goals for the upcoming year. The Junior League of Scranton is responsible for saving the historic home and funding and overseeing its restoration. The League has its headquarters at the Tripp House.
The Tripp House and the Junior League of Scranton are celebrating anniversaries in 2025: the 85th Anniversary of the Junior League of Scranton, the 45th Anniversary of the purchase of the Tripp House by the Junior League for $1 from the Scranton Redevelopment Authority, and the 35th Anniversary of the formation of the The Society for the Preservation of the Tripp Family Homestead (SPTFH)!!!

The SPTFH Board of Directors was delighted to dedicate the mural depicting Tripp Family history adjacent to the area's oldest homestead on North Main Avenue. The mural is located on the McCarthy Remick Flowers building facing the Tripp House.
SPTFH Board President Michael Gilmartin was joined by McCarthy Flowers CEO Brian McCarthy, mural artist Eric Bussart, amd Vince Coveleskie, communications & grants specialist for Lackawanna Valley Heritage National and State Area.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to celebrate this special evening with us!
