In 1922, Thomas Edison was headed from New York to Sunbury PA, for the Sunbury Sesquicentennial. Edison and his son stopped in Danville PA at the invitation of W.C. Frick.
The Edison's spent the night at the Montour House in Danville, and "took in the movies in one of the local theatres".
The Montour House, Danville Pa
An article in the Sunbury Daily Item in 2009 tells us
"The Montour House had many notable guests, such as Carrie Nation, P.T. Barnum, Gen. Winfield Scott and William Jennings Bryan.
Standing across from the Montour County Courthouse, this gracious hotel, part of Danville history since 1790, was razed for a parking lot owned by Sovereign Bank."
