Weatherly Pennsylvania's Eurana Park swimming pool. View is to the northeast. A three level set of diving boards over at the right side of the pool was removed some years ago. The water slide in the center is a favorite attraction. Same pool, directly opposite view. The pool is ringed by a fragrant stand of dark green hemlocks, indigenous to the locale. No matter what the air temperature, the pool is mostly very cold, supplied by a series of springs.

She was a resident of Weatherly. . September, 2002: The old Lehigh Valley Railroad's passenger depot in Weatherly, PA. Unlike most of the other regional small towns, Weatherly has preserved and renovated the station. It now serves as a town hall and meeting place. The town always has been more of a railroading place than a coal town. It is located on the eastern edge of the Coal Region.
