Two hours from Manhattan a community of old and new friends work and live in historic Hawley PA. Urban transplants take a breather and bring creative entrepreneurial vitality. Working artists, a dynamic music scene, top rated schools and a community college educate and enlighten. Historic houses cluster downtown beside the swimmable, fishable Lackawazen River. Just out of town, nestled among glacial lakes,  local farms provide goods to our restaurants, resorts and a world class health spa. Life slows down to a relaxed and healthy pace.

“"In Hawley, I've found something like the rural Iowa town I new growing up. Hometown-like – but also thriving with artists, musicians and its own special mix of culture and family life. As a fine art painter..Hawley offerd me my lifelong dream of having a studio in the  converted knitting facttory building that adjoins our historic home (originally the office for the D&H Canal). This light filled industrial space is now also where my life partner Alan Kehoe, a chef, is discovering photography in and around Hawley with all its natural and historic beauty.”
