Something is Hiding Beneath Hazleton…

A forgotten network of underground tunnels. A Prohibition-era speakeasy sealed away for 75 years. Secret passages connecting Hazleton homes to underground mines. It’s all real. And it’s just waiting to be uncovered. To do this, we’re about to create our most ambitious and adventurous documentary yet!

Last year, a WVIA short documentary, The Secret Beneath Hazleton, took you on an unforgettable journey into the vast network of mining tunnels hidden beneath the city of Hazleton. And now we're ready to go even deeper.

In a new 30-minute documentary, we are set to explore even more of Hazleton's hidden past as we uncover the truth behind these mysterious connections. We'll explore the history and the speculation that surrounds them.

To bring this story to light and to preserve our local history before it vanishes forever, we need your help!

We’re launching a Kickstarter campaign to get this project off the ground and bring our region the answers it’s been so desperately seeking. Together, we can FINALLY uncover The Secrets Beneath Hazleton— before it’s too late.

Discover the city that lies beneath the city of Hazleton in this episode of VIA Short Takes.
