It wasn't that long ago, and it keeps happening. This is one of a collection of 406 photos at the Society of the 2011 flood in September. Picture is of a house on West Main St., Bloomsburg, that was washed off its foundation because of the speed and amount of water. The damage to the area was so severe that it was the first time in the history of the Bloomsburg Fair that it was canceled. #CD-141

We need your help! First of all, does anyone recognize this gentleman using a wooden snow shovel?
Secondly, we need volunteers for the Society. All Committees are hurting for help. It won’t be too long until the Photo Committee is not working on the Archives, but will be part of them! Please email us at [email protected] or phone us at 570-784-1600 if you are interested.
