Neat place to visit to see the architecture and feel the history. Includes the restored gallows where several Irishmen were hung. Enjoyed the tour, although our tour guide seemed a little tired - they were very short on help and had us watch a short video first to fill us in on the jails history.

We had a great tour guide and it was perfectly spooky for October festivities.

We went to the Old Jail, took the Scenic Train Ride and went to the Lansford Coal Mine where you actually go inside an old mine and learn about what the mi era go through on a daily basis. Quite interesting. My 13 and 9 year old grandsons enjoyed it. We also went to Hickory Run State Park and went to Boulder Field and Hawk Falls.

Can't say for sure about the Meter, but they do run special "ghost tours" in the evening. Not sure if they run them all year, but they are doing them now.

Hi folks, Someone told me the jail yours are only for 12 years old and up. Is that just because anyone younger might not understand it, or just that they don't want kids that young. Thanx.

Dawn Beck | Oct 25, 2018

I just had my 1st grader there 3 days ago as part of a school sponsered field trip. He loved it.

The old jail in Jim Thorpe is Museum We need to learn from our mistakes in history. If those people or anyone obey the law they wouldn't be there in the first place. I am sorry if my pictures of the old jail upset you. You are definitely untitled to your opinion.
