Munley Law Sponsors the Everhart Museum’s Founder’s Gallery

Munley Law Personal Injury Attorneys is proud to announce that it has sponsored the Everhart Museum’s newest ongoing exhibition in memory of its founder, truck accident lawyer Robert W. Munley.

The “Founder’s Gallery” showcases the life of the Everhart Museum’s founder, Dr. Isaiah F. Everhart, an American physician and naturalist. The gallery traces Dr. Everhart’s life from growing up in Southeastern Pennsylvania, through his career as a surgeon, to settling in Scranton and establishing the museum. The exhibit features his journal entries, objects from the museum’s collection, and photographs from the museum’s archives.

A reception for the new exhibition was held on May 19 in conjunction with the Everhart Museum’s 115th anniversary. 

“My father was a huge supporter of the Everhart Museum,” said Caroline Munley, Managing Partner at Munley Law and the Chair of the Board of Trustees at the Everhart Museum. “Dr. Everhart had given this museum to Scranton to help further educate and inspire all that visit. As members of this community, the Munley family is proud to continue promoting Dr. Everhart’s passion for generations to come.”

Personal injury lawyer Robert W. Munley was a legal pioneer known for his courtroom rhetorical skills. He built his legal practice devoted to representing those who had been injured. In addition to his professional accomplishments, he was committed to giving back to his community. He endowed scholarships to the University of Scranton, Marywood University, and Vermon’s Landmark College and was a supporter of the Lackawanna Pro Bono, the Friends of the Poor, and many other charitable organizations.
