Details
The Northeastern Detachment Marine Corps League & Museum in Scranton, Pennsylvania is home to more than 1500 artifacts, displaying the proud history and traditions of the United States Marine Corps.
The Northeastern Detachment Marine Corps League and Museum is completely dependent upon Membership Support and Visitor Donations.
The Detachment is housed in a historic stone structure which was built as a WPA project in 1936. It overlooks the city of Scranton as does the World War II Korea M-41 tank.
Entrance to the Museum is gained through the "Leatherneck Lounge", which consists of a full bar and comfortable seating for meetings and social gatherings. The walls are lined with Marine Corps memorabilia such as historical posters, uniform prints, photos, stills and displays. In the center of the floor is a carved and hand painted symbol of the Marine Corps - the Eagle, Globe and Anchor. Left of the fireplace is one of the many dioramas, this one depicting the famous flag-raising on Mt. Suirbachi, Iwo Jima, a glorious feat of which all Marines are justifiably proud.
The main Museum is located on the lower level where Marine Corps history is further represented by showcases that contain material, equipment and personal items used by Marines in combat.
