History of Freeland, Pa.
20th- and early 21st-century businesses

What's on this page:
  • Links to pages on 20th- (and eventually, early 21st-century) businesses
  • Links to some individual businesses highlighted on their own pages
  • Links to business listings in city directories
  • Links to business listings on map indexes
A note about this revised page: The previous pages on 20th-century businesses have been broken up into more kinds of businesses, see below for links. Photos and ads are being added, including many sent by correspondents, and corrections, additions, comments and anecdotes from correspondents continue to be added. I still have more contributed information to add -- I'm working through a backlog, for which I apologize. Most of these new business pages also include lists of these kinds of businesses that were listed in some directories and maps 1900-1940. A few pages/businesses from the old pages that didn't get transferred (e.g., Recreation) will be taken care of in the near future. Additional pages for 19th-century businesses are in progress. Please visit and enjoy! All corrections and additions are most welcome.
