Laquin, in Franklin Township, Bradford County, Pennsylvania, now a ghost town, was founded in 1902 as a lumber town, but when the forests played out and the mills could no longer be fed, the industry left, and the people soon followed.
[1] In 1933, after the Barclay Mountain was clear cut and the lumber companies pulled out, a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp was established.
The CCC in Laquin was responsible for replanting trees on the mountain, building access roads, feeding game, and restoring the ecology.
The main street, which once sported a hotel, two churches, a school, a boarding house, store, depot, town building and several homes[2] still exists in the form of the major access road.
Most of the trackbed and bridges of the Susquehanna and New York are still in evidence throughout the valley of the Schrader Creek.
