Background: The Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L) preserves the historic pathway that
carried anthracite coal and iron from Wilkes‐Barre to Bristol, PA. The organization was established by
Congress in 1988 to celebrate our nationally significant story centered on the transport of anthracite coal
from the mines of Luzerne and Carbon County to the markets in the Lehigh Valley and Philadelphia (via Bucks
County). The D&L Trail is a multi‐use trail spanning over 165 miles when complete, from the mountains of
northeast Pennsylvania, along rivers and through the Lehigh Valley and Bucks County. In 2017, D&L merged
with the National Canal Museum to incorporate the archives, museum, canal boat and educational programs
into preservation and education efforts. Today, we are an AAM accredited Smithsonian Affiliate and an
organization with the ability to connect people to unique experiences in nature and the environment,
community and economic impact, health and recreation, history, preservation, and education.
