In 1912, Mary Packer Cummings willed her family’s home and all its contents to the Borough of Mauch Chunk where it would remain as a memorial to her father and his accomplishments. At that time, the Borough was not sure what to do with the home, and so it was closed until 1956. (In the forty-four years that The Mansion remained closed, nothing was taken and nothing was vandalized.) The Mansion recently celebrated 50 years of being open for tours.
