WISHAW
Located near Reynoldsville, the Village of Wishaw had its origins in the mining industry at the turn of the century as did so many small towns in the DuBois area.
Today, of course, the mines, railroads, school, block houses, stores, and trolley lines are long gone and Wishaw is a small, quiet residential area.
However, like all the communities in the DuBois area, Wishaw has an interesting historical past which we hope to expand upon as time permits.
For now, follow the links below to get an initial idea of life as it was way back then when Wishaw was a booming coal mining community.
