Description
In 1954, The remains of Jim Thorpe were brought to the Mauch Chunk and East Mauch Chunk areas who worked diligently to rename the two towns in his memory because no one else would. The International Olympic Committee has made a final decision that he is in fact the winner of the 1912 Olympic Gold Medals (NYT 7/15/22). This area was restored to a tourism magnet that it dominated on the East Coast at the turn of the century, when Asa Packer and 13 millionaires lived here..
