The Museum is housed in the former St. Paul’s Methodist Church building in the Jim Thorpe Historic District. Constructed in 1843 of red brick with high ornate ceiling, the church is a magnificent example of Victorian ecclesiastical architecture. The museum contains Switchback Railroad and canal lock models as well as a museum of history of Mauch Chunk and a display of Jim Thorpe.
