Visited the Packer family plot in Mauch Chunk Cemetery after touring the Asa Packer Mansion. Cemeteries have a way of making history feel close—like glimpsing the past.

Chapel in the Mauch Chunk Cemetery. I couldn’t not visit this cemetery after learning about the Packer family from touring the Asa Packer mansion. It’s quite the walk to get here from the mansion, but not a person in sight, unlike downtown Jim Thorpe.

The train begins a journey into Lehigh Gorge State Park from Jim Thorpe. The leaves are beginning to change.

The historic train station in Jim Thorpe (once known as Mauch Chunk) was buzzing with vendors and tourists this last Saturday of September. Hard to imagine how packed it’ll be in October—but that’s the charm of this beautiful town.

The front of a steam powered locomotive with its front lights alit in gold, a brass bell on the top center front, and dark steam coming out of the top. Two U.S. flags can be seen on either side of the engine, the number 425 is in the front center, and fall colored trees cover hills in the background
