Walking Tour Pennsylvania's Amazing Jim Thorpe | Exploring one of PA's BEST TOWNS (Narrated)

Jim Thorpe Town in Pennsylvania Jim Thorpe is a town in eastern Pennsylvania. The Mauch Chunk Museum and Cultural Center details the area’s coal mining history, and the life of the town’s namesake, Native American athlete Jim Thorpe. In nearby Lansford, No. 9 Mine and Museum is set in a 19th-century anthracite coal mine. On the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway, century-old coaches powered by diesel engines take passengers into Lehigh Gorge State Park. The small town of Jim Thorpe was originally called Mauch Chunk, a name given to a nearby mountain by the Lenni Lenape Indians, meaning "Mountain of the Sleeping Bear." The town is nestled in the Lehigh Gorge, so it has beautiful scenery to accent the history, which the town represents. One of the best ways to enjoy Jim Thorpe is to walk along the winding streets that gave it its nickname of the "Switzerland of America." You can also meander along one of the many hiking trails to enjoy the scenic views of the gorge and the Lehigh River. Soak in the historic Victorian architecture in the Old Mauch Chunk Historic District that has eight sites listed on the National Historic Register. Then, see where the tycoons of the coal and lumber industry lived along Millionaire's Row. Take a tour inside the Asa Packer Mansion Museum to see how the wealthy lived in the region in the 1800s. This is my first time visiting JIM THORPE and I wanted to visit it with you guys. Many people say Jim Thorpe looks like a small town from Switzerland. I have never been to Switzerland so this is the closest I can get to it in 2020 lol. Jim Thorpe is considered one of Pennsylvania's best towns.
