Things To Do
Honesdale - The birthplace of the American Railroad
Honesdale’s rich railroad history began in 1829, when the Stourbridge Lion was brought over from England. The Stourbridge Lion was the first steam locomotive to run on commercial tracks in the United States, and it was a result of the town's early-nineteenth-century involvement in transporting coal. A full-scale replica of the famous Stourbridge Lion—a must-see for railroad buffs and children of all ages – sits in the Wayne County Historical Society’s Museum and Research Center at 810 Main Street. The greater Honesdale area is rich in architectural treasures, many dating back to the 1800s. It features many fine retail and gift shops; friendly, professional services; cozy restaurants and cafes; and architecturally resplendent homes. Honesdale’s picturesque Central Park overlooks Wayne County’s historic Court House, as well as several other prominent buildings, such as the boyhood home of Dick Smith, composer of “Winter Wonderland” and the Old Stone Jail, which dates back to 1859.
