Jim Thorpe

During the Labor Day weekend, Mary Ann and I visited Jim Thorpe, PA.  It is a delightful small town, still retaining many of its older Victorian buildings, all well cared for.  There are a wealth of attractions there, historical and otherwise.  Among them are

• The Old Jail, where 4 of the infamous Molly McGuires were hung
• The Asa Packer mansion, home of the builder of the Lehigh Valley Railroad
• The Mauch Chunk Museum, with extensive displays on the history of the area.
• Lehigh Gorge State Park, with hiking and biking trails
• Rail Tours, Inc. scenic train rides
