Description: Visit the town of Jim Thorpe in the Leigh Valley of Eastern Pennsylvania. Named for the American Indian who won the most medals in the 1912 Olympics, only to have them taken away when it was learned he played baseball for $60 a month the previous year. The Asa Packard Mansion overlooks a historic downtown, struggling to develop on a summer tourism industry. Video shot by Ken English in August 2007 for PoconoPreview.com.

Jim Thorpe is a great destiantion. Very walkable, if you don't mind the hill at the top! Very eclectic with nice little shops and restaurants. Check out the old jail museum where the Molly Maguires wre imprisioned.
