A truly enjoyable way to learn the history of the town Mauch Chunk/ Jim Thorpe.

The kind older gentleman who was running the museum was funny, insightful and engaging. Since it was a slow day he gave us a bit more in-depth explanations of the history of coal, the flood, and the origins of the name change. There's a lot more, but it's best to see in person.

All the items were lovingly displayed and easy to see. The place radiated a feeling of genuine enjoyment for the subject matter.

It was very pleasant to watch someone so knowledgeable about a subject explain so many topics. We even took some pictures to ghost hunt, but no luck.

If you are looking for a great place to learn about the Town of Jim Thorpe, this is the place to go!
