The range of their menu wasn't that big, a few things but none of them sounded appetizing, so just went to buy some things from the store, they do have a tattoo place in the back, had no idea that was there, as there were no signs in plain sight about it. Overall a cute place for people who like dark macabre things, but not worth it if you're traveling for just this place.

The Asa Packer Mansion listed as a National Historic Landmark was the home of philanthropist, railroad magnate, and founder of Lehigh University, Asa Packer, from Oct. 16, 1861, to Oct. 29, 1912. Located in Jim Thorpe, this building is recognized by a red-ribbed tin roof and a central cupola proudly atop Packer Hill with the commanding stunning views of the surrounding Pocono Mountains, where my partner, his aunt and I came for a tour today. Tickets were easily available and reasonably priced for the 1pm tour, which covered the entirety of the first and second floors. Our tour guide was a young lady (she mentioned she is a senior in high school) who obviously loves her job and is personally interested in the history of the mansion and family. From the furniture, woodwork, and stained glass to the artwork, she spoke about the history or significance. The mansion is not a restoration where pictures and video are prohibited inside. An amazing walk back in time, for which we can recommend this place.

Our tour guide was very passionate about the subject and brought the story of the home to life. We learned so much about Asa Packer and his family as well as his contributions to the town itself. I highly recommend visiting the mansion. It's very affordable and you won't regret it. The setting is very scenic as it's set atop a gorgeous hill overlooking the region. Bonus points if you have the opportunity to visit during the fall season. You'll be surrounded by the most beautiful foliage. But very important to note, accessing the museum means walking up the hill and some stairs. It's a short walk but could be taxing for some. Very much worth your efforts though!

Endless Mountains War Memorial Museum is located in rural Sonestown, Pennsylvania off the main…read moreroad. Outside the building are a Jeep, Howitzer, and several Flags. Parking is located along the road; it's a small town so it's not an issue. We came here during an event, when a mural was being dedicated, and a WWII veteran was speaking about his experiences. The museum has been open since 1998, charges no admission, and is supported by donations. Endless Mountains is not overly large; it's the size of two larger rooms. It is loaded with pieces ranging across several wars. Pieces in the collection vary from general equipment, knifes, medals, rifles, supplies, and uniforms spread across many displays. Many items have been donated by veterans and their families. You can walk through both rooms and literally not see everything; it takes two or three passes to even be close. The hallways are a little narrow so it can be hard to move around a few of the displays. Call ahead to make sure that Endless Mountains is open, as during the weekend they hold regular hours but it could change due to being at presentations. Weekday visits are by appointment. Social media is not updated and there website is rather basic. Considering this is a small rural museum, it's absolutely worth a visit for the sheer amount of history to look at and explore.

Mr. Jack Craft has put together a military museum that not only reflects his love and enthusiasm for militaria (foreign and American), but also the pictures and stories of the veterans and civilians whose lives are reflected in the history displayed.

Once you are inside the mine and see how they created small tunnels to obtain coal which was moved through the larger ones, you begin to realize what a tough life it was. Six year old boys were put to work walking mules, with oil lamps on their head. The workers, mostly from Ireland were slaves to the mine, since they made $0.13 cents after food, rent and equipment were paid for. They were paid with company made money, not our currency. Bring a jacket if you get cold quickly, it's 53 F degrees once inside. The ride into the mine hits 90 decibels at points, silicone ear plugs or noise canceling earbuds may be of use.
