MOUNT POCONO, Pa. Posters showing what s on the way line the inside of the former parish church of St. Mary of the Mount in Mount Pocono.
Members of American Legion Post 903 bought the church building over the summer. It s been vacant for 10 years.
The plan is to use donations and grants to turn it into a museum dedicated to veterans. In here will be exhibits from various wars. All the wars, Revolutionary, World War I, World War II, the Iraqi war, Vietnam wall, we will have a replica of that here. We hope it will be a nice exhibit space for the Monroe County area, said Albert Compoly, American Legion Post 903.
