Parts of the ice house foundation can still be seen, though the growth around the area is thicker every year. The dam was rebuilt in 2008, and is now a quiet, safe place for everyone. Because it is a part of the Game Commission, orange vests are encouraged during hunting season. My mother's favorite story to tell is of parking the car, opening the door for her black lab, being told that black bear was is season, putting the dog back in the car, and skipping the walk for that day. We visit Brady's lake a few times a month as a family. We bring the dog, wear sturdy shoes, and have a bunch of fun disturbing the bull frogs at the water's edge. This spring we were able to watch the tadpoles turn into polliwogs, and we are able to see the lake at it's fullest. Fun on many levels. Bring bug repellant and sunscreen, carry a bottle of water. Wave to the fishermen, bikers, and joggers as they enjoy their day. Brady's lake is 3 miles off of Route 940, making it one of those rare spots to hike. Easy access, and perfect peace. Enjoy!

With a library card, they are free to borrow for one, two or three weeks, depending on the age and other people's requests for a particular book.

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!

From moving out here to having a PO Box for over 6 months now every time I have came in the women have been nothing but rude. If you walk in at 457 they turn you away like your trash. I have a family i want to go home to and need to support too so remember that the next time someone rushes in to send a package last minute. Karma will always bite you back harder and it's always better to be kind and to stop and think to show respect to your customers which I and I have seen plenty of others not receive while being at this Postal Office. So when ANYONE steps foot into this place I highly recommend just traveling down the street to the next one and I'm switching my PO BOX to that as well due to the lack of common courtesy and respect from even the postmaster. I have NEVER in my life ever been to such a shitty post office I'm glad to be moving and wish you all better help in the future to guide you in the right direction of how to interact with customers the professional proper way you were all trained to do and be! Truly hope you get your act together!

They tell you to make an appointment but you can't get through when you call, then when you come down w/o an you are only seen to be told they will give you an appointment to come all the way back and wait again!
