Jim Thorpe RV Rentals |
Renting an RV from Pennsylvania RV Rentals is the ideal way to travel and see the sights in Jim Thorpe, PA. Located at the western edge of the Pocono Mountains, Jim Thorpe is a tiny picturesque town with an interesting history. Founded in a wilderness on the banks of the Lehigh River in 1818, Jim Thorpe (formerly Mauch Chunk, a Leni Lenape Indian name which means "Mountain of the Sleeping Bear."), became a coal transportation center, tourist destination, and the seat of Carbon County. From its beginning as a frontier town in the initial decades of the 1800’s, Jim Thorpe, PA has attracted artists, writers, touring parties, travelers and entrepreneurs. The town is a slice of American Victoriana with its wonderful old buildings, narrow streets, and charming mountain scenery and boasts tens of thousands of visitors during all seasons of the year. Jim Thorpe has many varied attractions for the whole family. Take a train ride on the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway and experience the beauty of Carbon County. Get a taste of the supernatural with a Ghost Tour of the Old Jail Museum. Here a mysterious handprint of a man wrongly hanged over 100 years ago remains on the wall of his cell despite efforts to remove it – including replacing the wall! One of the many things to do in Jim Thorpe is shop. The Douglas House Marketplace is a restored 19th century Victorian which is home to 8 unique shops. Gifts and collectibles of every kind can be found at the Early Attic, The Treasure Shop, Nature’s Trail, and Pansy Place.
