We've decided to take you on a walking tour of downtown Jim Thorpe. Public parking in the county lot is $10, there is also metered street parking available.
There is plenty to see and do! Shops, food and history! There are several stops along the tour, so be sure to bring a camera and comfortable walking shoes. Our intention is for you to perhaps learn something about our little town and maybe even see parts of Jim Thorpe you've never seen before! The tour should take you about an hour, depending on the pace you choose. Enjoy!!

Each question can be answered from the sidewalk. At no point will you need to enter private property, so please don't do so.
The final can be reached from the -street-. There is no need to climb, jump, swim (hah!) or enter private property so please don't.
