Since
our founding in 1973, the Mauch Chunk Historical Society has
been actively involved in giving our past a future.
We
preserve and maintain two significant historic buildings in
Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania: the 1883 Mauch
Chunk Opera House and the Marion Hose Company #1. We continue
to utilize these structures in their historic role as venues
for a variety of entertainment, art and cultural events throughout
the year.
With
the support of our members, benefactors, and partners the
Mauch Chunk Historical Society preserves and interprets
our region's history by providing a focal point for culture,
entertainment and the arts in our community to enrich the
lives of current and future generations of residents and
visitors.
It
is only through the support of our members, benefactors,
and partners that we can continue our mission of preservation,
conservation and utilization.
If
you are one of those special individuals who have a passion
for the past, we invite you to join us and become a fellow
curator of Mauch Chunk history.
Jim
Thorpe is an enchanting place located along the Lehigh River
Gorge. The area was sacred to the Native Americans who once
lived here. Our captivating town is the southwestern gateway
to the Pocono region of Pennsylvania.
