Anthracite coal, mined nearby, fueled the Industrial Revolution. At one time, 19 of the country’s 26 millionaires had a residence in Mauch Chunk. The Switchback Gravity Railroad was the predecessor of the roller coaster, and was the second rail system in America. The major Hollywood motion picture, The Molly Maguires, starring Sean Connery and Richard Harris, was filmed here and at nearby Eckley Miner’s Village. Our town is the final resting place for the greatest athlete of the 20th century, Jim Thorpe. Mauch Chunk is pronounced Mock-CHUNK. These are the Lenni Lenape words for “sleeping bear.”

We Get Straight A’s for Geography The lay of the land has always been our primary attraction. It was the endless expanse of the tree-covered Pocono Mountains that first brought the logging industry into the area. After that, it was the energy-producing coal buried underneath that same rugged terrain that brought thousands of miners and their families here. The Lehigh River carried this abundance downstream to Allentown and then on to Philadelphia. Later, the railroad traveled this same route. Today, the beautiful environment surrounding Jim Thorpe still draws people here, though for vastly different reasons. Whether it’s a hike along the nearby Appalachian Trail, with its challenging climbs and scenic vistas, an easy bike ride along the converted railroad bed through Lehigh Gorge State Park, or an exhilarating whitewater adventure down the Lehigh, our landscape will fill your next vacation with excitement and give you memories enough to last a lifetime. You won’t have to find your own way. Our town is filled with guides of every sort who are ready to help you make the most of your time in Jim Thorpe. Your only job is to decide which direction to go. You might start with a tour of the Asa Packer Mansion or the Old Jail Museum. Visit DeFeo’s Manor, an 18-room residence

that is an excellent example of Queen Anne Victorian-style architecture. Or you might journey up the hill to Mauch Chunk Lake to kayak the shoreline in the morning mist or swim all day at the beach. You could also fly fish in one of our nationally-recognized trout streams, or play on one of the largest paintball complexes in the country. Perhaps you’re interested in getting active, but at a more leisurely level, so a walking tour might be just for you. Jim Thorpe is a four-season town, with great outdoor activities to enjoy all year-round. Check our calendar for events such as Earth Day, Jim Thorpe’s Birthday, Fall Foliage Weekends, Olde Time Christmas and WinterFest. Surprise yourself with a visit to town in the winter. With three ski areas close by, lively nightlife at our pubs and restaurants, quaint shops, hip galleries and our cozy accommodations, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. There’s no better way to unwind and relax than to get outside and enjoy our landscape and town. Make sure you make them a part of your next Jim Thorpe visit.

There are a great many towns with history in these Pocono Mountains, but none have embraced their past the way we have in Jim Thorpe. Formerly known as Mauch Chunk, our picturesque town is steeped in history. It’s a fascinating story of struggle, survival, boom, bust and revival, and it flavors everything you will experience here. Welcome to Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania! Come with us on a short trip back in time.

Known for decades to nineteenth-century rail excursionists as the “Switzerland of America,” the humble coal mining town of Mauch Chunk has matured into an All-American town named after an American hero. But there’s more to this story, much more. We can’t wait to share the rest. Timeline Source: Mauch Chunk Museum and Cultural Center

“The man of iron nerve, whose life was one of purity and uprightness, simple in habit, dignified in demeanor, fervent, earnest, free of all forms of ostentation, liberal beyond measure, to whose magnanimity of soul hundreds of living witnesses pay heartfelt tribute, had passed away May 17, 1879. The Directors of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company have heard with profound sorrow of the death of their President, the Hon. Asa Packer, by which each one of the Directors has lost a true and valued friend, the company has lost its founder and its sagacious leader, the laboring man has lost a sympathizing benefactor, and our country has lost a useful and patriotic citizen.” From the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company’s 1879 Annual Report, memorializing Asa Packer

“The Lehigh River will sure surprise you. It looks calm and easy on the surface, but get out there with five or six of your friends and you’re in for more fun than you bargained for. I’ve been a guide for a few years now and I love this river. It’s safe for kids but fun for everyone, even professionals. If you’re coming to Jim Thorpe and you’re looking for adventure, you’ve got to get on the Lehigh River.”

Dustin Kapustiak Lehigh River Rafting Guide

“I know that I have to stay healthy and so I’ve embraced cycling because it’s fun and good for me, but I didn’t know how breathtaking it could be until I came to Jim Thorpe. There is a 25-mile bike trail that runs along a converted railroad bed through the Lehigh Gorge State Park and it is the most beautiful

place I’ve ever ridden. The worst grade is only about 2 percent, so even beginning riders can have a great time. There are outfitters in Jim Thorpe that provide bike rentals and shuttle service, so all you have to bring is comfortable clothing and your camera. Don’t forget your camera! You’ll definitely need it.”

Linda Hudock Bike guide

The Lehigh Gorge Trail extends 25 miles from Jim Thorpe to White Haven. The Switchback Trail, an 18-mile tree-lined loop from Jim Thorpe to Summit Hill, begins just two blocks from downtown. For skinny tire enthusiasts, the countryside around Jim Thorpe is criss-crossed with roads challenging enough for any rider.

The Original Band-in-a-Box It was the home of Asa Packer, the third wealthiest man in the world. He turned Mauch Chunk into a haven of the super-rich. At one time half of all the millionaires in America lived in this town. Tour the Asa Packer Mansion for a glimpse of his lifestyle.

There is history here, alive and accessible, from the jail that held the Molly Maguires to the mansions that hosted the parties of the world’s wealthiest, to the churches that have stood on these mountainsides for centuries. There is architecture here, preserved for many generations, and some say, the ghosts of those who lived within those walls so long ago. Find out for yourself on one of Jim Thorpe’s walking tours.

Everything Old Mauch Chunk There is so much history in this little town that it slips through your fingers like, well, like time itself. But the curators at the Mauch Chunk Museum and Cultural Center have managed to grab hold of some of the treasures from the past—you owe it to yourself to check them out.

Tour a Coal Mine Volumes have been written about the hard lives of the coal miners who burrowed into these hills to make a living and provide the fuel for the Industrial Revolution. But you can’t really understand it until you experience it. Travel back in time through the same tunnels that carried generations of miners and find out what it was really like for the Molly Maguires at the Number 9 Mine in nearby Lansford.

All Aboard “I’ve been a conductor on this line for years and I’ve never been late. Don’t you be late! Get your tickets now and get swept away on a whirlwind ride through the beautiful Lehigh Gorge. All aboard!” George Slater Train Conductor, Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway


Ghostly Tours “I’ve seen plenty of strange things in some of the old buildings in this town as a guide for the Rotary Club Ghost Walk Tour. All the locals have, but that doesn’t mean these spirts are real. Does it?”

Feed the Butterflies There’s actually a dungeon here in Jim Thorpe. See the handprint in Cell 17 and then walk under the gallows where seven of the Molly Maquires were hanged. There are no prisoners here today, at least no living ones.

Grab the kids and flutter over to the Bear Mountain Butterfly Sanctuary “This project has touched my heart and so many others. Visitors come from all over the region to walk among our butterflies and they always leave with a greater sense of the wonder and beauty available in this world.”

In Tune with Town Anita Shapolsky Art Foundation

Penn’s Peak

Would it surprise you to learn that a building constructed in the late 1800s can be one of the most acoustically perfect venues in the region? How about a mountaintop music hall where you can see for miles but never have to sit more than a few feet from the stage? Or a quaint town park that’s wired to turn into an outdoor concert venue at the flick of a switch? Prepare to be surprised.

“Discovering wonderful little gems like Jim Thorpe is part of the appeal of touring. We loved the gorgeous drive into the Poconos, so finding this quirky, lovely town full of friendly, down-to-earth people, great shops and good food was an added delight. We love it here. Everyone should make sure to check out who’s performing at the Mauch Chunk Opera House. It is one of our favourite venues in the world. Also, it’s only a short walk over to all of the shops and restaurants in the downtown.” Nicky Mehta - The Wailin’ Jennys

NIGHT On the Opera House Stage

Jim Thorpe Isn’t Just for Daytrippers.

Pub Style Just because we’re a small town doesn’t mean we’re short on nightlife. Our old world-style pubs and eateries have charm, atmosphere and plenty of personality.

E n t e rta i n m e n t Penn’s Peak is a great place to see a show. Seating over 1500, they feature big names like Bob Weir, Lorretta Lynn and Peter Frampton. Eats and drinks too! And what a view! Just a short drive from the downtown. The Mauch Chunk Opera House has great acoustics and seats 350. Every seat in the house is a good one. Check out the view and sound from the balcony section. After the show meet legends like Richie Havens, the comedian Gallagher and Al Stewart. Afterward, you might see them at the pub!

No modern-era athlete embodies the pure joy of competition the way Jim Thorpe did. At the 1912 Stockholm Olympics he accomplished the never-to-be-duplicated feats of winning both the pentathlon and decathlon. As a football player at the Carlisle School, he was unparalleled. He played major league baseball for over six years, hitting .327 his last year. He dazzled on the back of a horse, on the ballroom dance floor, and even at bowling, where he averaged over 200. Despite his celebrity, Jim Thorpe was unassuming. At the ticker tape parade held in his honor in New York City after his Olympic victories, he is said to have remarked that he never knew he had so many friends. President Dwight D. Eisenhower said, “Here and there, there are some people who are supremely endowed. My memory goes back to Jim Thorpe. He never practiced in his life, and he could do anything better than any other football player I ever saw.� After his death in 1953, Jim Thorpe’s third wife, Patricia, in search of a proper tribute to her husband, moved his body to Mauch Chunk, Pennsylvania and, in return, the struggling town changed its name. While he never lived in Mauch Chunk, it is fitting that he is memorialized here, in the state where he spent his proudest years, in the town that changed its name to his.
