This is one of our favorite places, where we had our first date and got engaged! You can't go wrong with anything there, whether it's a stroll down the main shopping strip or grabbing a bite to eat. We especially love taking a train ride from the downtown station.
Visitors can take a ride on this historic train that runs along the Lehigh River through the gorge. It’s a scenic, relaxing way to take in the natural beauty of the area, especially in the fall when the foliage is at its peak.
Where our proposal happened! Out on the main porch, overlooking part of downtown. The Asa Packer Mansion is open to the public as a museum. Visitors can take guided tours of the home, learning about the life and legacy of Asa Packer and experiencing the opulence of 19th-century life. The mansion is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is an important landmark in Jim Thorpe.
