In 1928 along an open stretch of the Lackawanna Trail between Scranton and Philadelphia, Kenneth Porter turned a small Civil War era building into a restaurant and antique shop called The Blue Shutters. Despite the onset of the Great Depression, the business survived, offering home-cooked meals, cocktails, big-band entertainment, overnight rooms, and even auto repair. Through the years the small restaurant was expanded with a porch, large dining room, and expanded kitchen. The restaurant spanned generations with several ownership changes. In 1950, Sam Phillips and his wife Catherine purchased The Blue Shutters and ran it for decades.
Today, The Blue Shutters continues a legacy of fine dining.
